Russia released video of a drone attack on the Kremlin on Wednesday May 3. If she accuses Ukraine of being behind this attack, doubts exist as to the veracity of the video and the attack. For its part, kyiv is in denial, while Washington is cautious.
In a video posted Wednesday, May 3 on a Telegram messaging channel, a drone hovers, grazes the Kremlin and explodes. Just before impact, two figures are seen on the side of the dome. Russia claims to have shot down two drones overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday and is opening a terrorism investigation, accusing Ukraine.
Moscow would like to create a momentum of patriotism
Traveling to Finland, Volodymyr Zelensky rejected these accusations. “We didn’t attack Putin. Putin, we leave it to the courts“, said the Ukrainian president. The United States, meanwhile, wants to be cautious, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken explaining that he would take “anything from the Kremlin with tweezers“. Why would Moscow publicize this alleged attack? It could be a question of stimulating Russian patriotism, while Ukraine is preparing a counter-offensive. In the Russian capital, Muscovites are torn between doubt and concern.
