Kremlin Drone Attack on Putin: Staged or Real?
The Russian Defence Ministry’s claim that Vladimir Putin’s helicopter was targeted by Ukrainian drones in Kursk Oblast was a staged event, according to four Kremlin and government sources. This carefully orchestrated incident, publicized through state media, aimed to project Putin’s unwavering resolve and shared risk with the Russian people amidst ongoing conflict. The sources confirmed Putin’s visit but emphasized his security was exceptionally tight, contradicting the narrative of a near-miss. Ukrainian authorities also denied any involvement in an attack.
