Could the Kremlin attack possibly be a false flag? | DW News

The Kremlin said it was "absolutely ridiculous" for Kyiv and Washington to try to disown the explosions over the presidential palace on Wednesday. The Kremlin accused Kyiv of staging a drone attack in an attempt to assassinate Russian leader Vladimir Putin that was foiled by Russian forces. Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv had nothing to do with the incident.

Russia on Thursday tightened security in Moscow as it prepares to host its annual military parade in the capital to mark Victory Day or the end of World War II. Victory Day on May 9 commemorates the Soviet Union's role in defeating Nazi Germany in World War II. Foreign dignitaries are expected to attend the event. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said "everything will be strengthened." "Everything has already been strengthened in preparation for the Victory Day parade," Peskov told reporters. The grand celebrations associated with Russia's most important holiday takes place in Moscow's Red Square. Peskov added Thursday that Putin was working in his office in the Kremlin. Russia on Wednesday accused Kyiv of sending drones, that were intercepted by Russian forces, in a foiled attempt to assassinate Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Russian state news agency RIA reported Wednesday that Moscow's Mayor Sergei Sobyanin issued a ban on using drones in the Russian capital unless used by authorities. Sobyanin provided no reason for the ban, which was issued shortly before the news about the alleged drone explosions over the Kremlin broke.
