“Speculation is rife that Russia could have staged a drone attack on the Kremlin that it blamed on Ukraine, with political analysts saying there are a number of reasons why the alleged strike doesn’t add up.
Doubts about the authenticity of the Kremlin’s attack claim started to emerge yesterday as video footage began to circulate on social media purportedly showing the drone attacks.
Questions are also being asked as to why the Kremlin waited so long, hours after the incident purportedly took place, to announce it — and why Russian social media channels, usually a-flutter with talk about the war with Ukraine, had been silent about an incident that allegedly took place in full sight in central Moscow.
Why, too, did videos of the “attack” only appear after the incident and, indeed, who captured the footage — and what prompted them to start filming it just moments before the drones were shown above the Kremlin?
Defense and political analysts, as well as Western officials, are viewing the incident with skepticism, saying it’s highly possible that Russia carried out the “attack” itself, for a number of reasons, including a possible need to prepare Russian society for a firmer war footing.”
