Russia has accused Ukraine of trying to assassinate President Vladimir Putin by attacking Kremlin with drones.

The two countries are at war since February 2022.

In a statement, Russia said that Ukraine attempted to carry out a strike on the Kremlin residence of the President. Kremlin is a large government complex in central Moscow.

It said it regarded this “as a planned terrorist act and an assassination attempt on the president”.

Putin himself was not present at the location at the time.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky denied his country was behind it.

“We don’t attack Putin or Moscow. We fight on our territory. We are defending our villages and cities,” he said, speaking on a visit to Finland.

Meanwhile, senior Ukrainian Presidential official Mykhailo Podolyak said the reported incident indicates that “Russia is clearly preparing a large-scale terrorist attack”.

Last year, despite immense backlash, Russia invaded Ukraine, leading to a bloody war that shows no signs of abating.
