officials in kyiv? the kremlin says that one of the key buildings in the presidential compound, right at the heart of moscow, was attacked by two ukrainian drones overnight and there are various videos circulating online showing of the alleged attack. the kremlin also issued a statement saying this was an act of terror and is an attempt to assassinate the russian president ahead of victory day on the 9th of may, which is a hugely important holiday. it is a rapidly escalating situation, in the past ten minutes the speaker of the russian parliament issued a statement saying this was an attack on russia and, i
the right to take retaliatory measures and it s important what they might be meaning for that. we know russia has a nuclear power and there is no indication that they have posture in that regard and they ve made repeated a threats in the past year and they re in a difficult military place in ukraine at the moment, with the counter offensive that s been planned by nato and assisted by nato and breathing down the neck of russia s beleaguered military in the days ahead. so the timing in this statement with little to back it up with evidence at this point despite the video you will see shortly showing smoke over the kremlin and something we can t verify ourselves and the timing of the statement is particularly important and it suggests possibility that russia is looking to ferment population, and it is some degree of russian weakness if this has occurred or have been alleged to occur in the very heart of moscow and its cultural heart, centuries of russian history running through
