Putin “notoriously rarely goes to the Kremlin, let alone stays there overnight, and there were no scheduled early morning meetings or the like there which might make one assume he might be in his (palatial) flat there,” Mark Galeotti, a political analyst, academic, and author of a number of books on Russia, noted on Twitter.

Why Russia might have carried out a false flag operation against a nationalistic icon like the Kremlin is self-evident.

The timing of the purported attack, coming just days ahead of the May 9 Victory Day parade commemorating the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany, has not gone un-noticed — nor was it meant to, analysts said.

The Kremlin said the drone attack had taken place “on the eve of Victory Day, the May 9th Parade, at which the presence of foreign guests is also planned.”

It added that “the Russian side reserves the right to take retaliatory measures where and when it sees fit” also suggesting the attack could be used to justify an escalation of its aggression against Ukraine.

Those “retaliatory measures” were hinted at by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who called for the “elimination” of Ukraine’s government and cited Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy by name.

False flag is possible. Also it’s true that they were offering a cash prize for anyone who could land a drone in Red Square. In any case, this was not am assassination attempt, but a publicity stunt. In either case.
