The Kremlin drone attack, explained as best we can

Wednesday will undoubtedly be one of those days we all remember in the 14-month war between Russia and Ukraine. Here’s a breakdown of what happened.

Two drones flew above the Kremlin overnight and were seemingly downed in the 2:00 a.m. hour in Moscow. The Russian government immediately claimed that Ukraine tried to kill President VLADIMIR PUTIN, prompting Kyiv to immediately deny the allegations.

“We don’t attack Putin or Moscow,” President VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY told the Nordic broadcaster TV2 during a surprise trip to Finland, NATO’s newest member. “We fight on our territory. We’re defending our villages and cities. We don’t have enough weapons for these.” Later, he seemed to suggest Putin staged the whole thing because it can't boast of any battlefield wins: "Because of that, he has to do some unexpected moves like surprise drone attacks.”
