🚨#BREAKING: #Ukraine Targets #Putin with #Drone Strike on the #Kremlin
#Russia has accused Ukraine of attempting a drone attack on the Kremlin with the aim of killing President Putin.
Russian officials said Putin was not injured, and that #Moscow shot down two drones.
The Kremlin said it reserves the right to retaliate, according to Russia’s TASS media outlet.
Russian state news has reported that Putin was not present at the Kremlin during the attempted drone strike. Furthermore, the two unmanned aerial vehicles were intercepted by air defense, and no casualties or material damage have been reported.
Kremlin spokesman: "President Putin’s working schedule has not been affected and will continue as usual."
I don't know whether this is a legitimate attack on Putin or a false flag operation to warrant a Russian escalation in Ukraine.
If this is a legitimate Ukrainian attack on Putin, this is EXTREMELY concerning and could lead to a very serious escalation by Russia. Putin's life should NOT be in danger, otherwise we may risk a nuclear escalation.
If this is a false flag operation to frame Ukraine, it is still concerning as it means Russia is preparing to escalate. I hope this does not lead to the use of tactical nuclear weapons (which I doubt)

When you would be willing to pay an Internet domain name registration and web hosting company to buy a domain and build your own website, shouldn't you pay a community platform to own a blue checkmark?
While many people or journalists have raised objections to paying $8 per month to continue to own a blue checkmark, I would like to offer a different perspective...
