Early Wednesday morning, there was a drone attack at the Kremlin, in which Russia has declared was an assassination attempt on President Vladimir Putin.
Russia blamed Ukraine, who denied any involvement. Then Russia blamed the United States for the attack and declared that Ukraine was just carrying out orders for President Joe Biden.
Now, Russia has declared that a “severe and inevitable punishment” is coming, and promised to physically eliminate Ukrainian President Zelensky.
National Security Council Leader Dmitry Medvedev stated on Wednesday, “After today’s terrorist attack, there are no options left other than the physical elimination of Zelensky and his clique.”
Breitbart reports:
Other responses from within the Kremlin, while worded less colourfully, constitute no lesser threats. The Russian foreign ministry, for instance, insisted there was “no doubt” Ukraine was behind the “criminal” drone strike and that “all those responsible for the strikes on the Kremlin will be found, they will face severe and inevitable punishment.”
Russia’s ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov also said punishment would be “hard and inevitable”, calling the blast “insolent and presumptious”. Saying it was “deceitful” to claim Russia might have been the author of a false-flag operation against itself, Antonov repeated the Kremlin line — as did others — that Russia reserved the right to take its revenge as and when it pleased.
He said: “We will answer when we consider it necessary. We will answer in accordance with the assessments of the threat that Kiev posed to the leadership of our country… Definitely, we will take this circumstance into account while working out our strategy to implement the goals and objectives of the special military operation.”
Ukraine, for their party, deny involvement. One Kyiv spokesman said it was possible the attack was actually the work of Russian anti-government partisans, remarking that drones are easy to buy. They said: “The emergence of unidentified unmanned aerial vehicles at energy facilities or on Kremlin’s territory can only indicate the guerrilla activities of local resistance forces. As you know, drones can be bought at any military store.
“The loss of power control over the country by Putin’s clan is obvious. But on the other hand, Russia has repeatedly talked about its total control over the air. In a word, something is happening in [The Russian Federation], but definitely without Ukraine’s drones over the Kremlin”.
