Russia is accusing Ukraine of launching a drone strike at the Kremlin in an attempt to kill President Vladimir Putin.
The drones were taken out of action by military and security services and Mr. Putin was not injured, the Kremlin said Wednesday.“We regard these actions as a planned terrorist attack and an attempt on the President,” the Kremlin said in a statement.
“The Russian side reserves the right to take retaliatory measures where and when it sees fit,” officials in Moscow said in a statement. While targets in Kyiv were not damaged, Ukraine said a Russian attack on a supermarket in Kherson killed three people and injured five others. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was in Helsinki for talks with the leaders of Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark during the alleged drone attack on the Kremlin. The main topic of the discussion was maintaining a unified front against Russian aggression, Mr. Zelenskyy said.
