US, Kyiv cannot 'disown' drone attack on Kremlin.
Russia has accused Ukraine of trying to assassinate Putin.
White House, Kyiv deny Russian accusations of involvement.
Russian drones target Kyiv, other cities.
Zelenskiy visits The Hague, says Putin must face justice.


KYIV, May 4 (Reuters) - Russia said on Thursday that the United States was behind an alleged drone attack on the Kremlin aiming to kill President Vladimir Putin, and air raid sirens sounded again in Kyiv as darkness fell following attacks the previous night.

Reuters witnesses heard gunfire and repeated heavier explosions near the centre of Kyiv. Residents who made their way to air raid shelters told Reuters they saw drones in the air. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, speaking in The Hague after visiting the International Court of Justice (ICC), said Putin must be brought to justice over the war and that Kyiv would work to create a new tribunal for this purpose.

Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov, without providing evidence, said Ukraine had acted on U.S. orders with the alleged drone attack on the Kremlin citadel in the early hours of Wednesday.

I get the impression that there are so many yes-men, and the place is so corrupt, that sounding credible went out the window a long time ago. If you get by saying outrageous lies through clenched teeth to scared people long enough, you stop caring how outrageous your lies are I think.

>> If the US was behind it Putin would be getting a state funeral.

Right! Look how flawlessly we unwound our presence in Afghanistan. Very impressive.

And with the over-the-top success we’re having in attracting top-quality recruits, well, hope you aren’t tired of winning!

And that’s before we even consider our top notch intelligence services, boy can they keep secrets, or what!

...oh wait...

When did Zelensky leave Kiev? Who flew him from Finland to Germany?

Sticky Vicky Neuskank has her filthy stinky paws all over this one also. Just like the pipeline. That c8nt wants a full blown war with Russia and will do anything to cause one.

Besides all that. Its time for a wag the dog thing since the HOR is closing in with the investigation of the Bidet crime family.

Some here howl about the guys on the roof of that building.

Well guess what? They most likely determined the flight path of it and were tracking it for some time.

It actually flew PAST that building. I dont doubt that the guys on top of that building shot it down and it landed on the roof.

“Zelenskiy visits The Hague, says Putin must face justice.”

Why not? Just adapting the “Justice” Department plan against Trump

Yes, it looks like it just got past the flag pole when it was hit.. could have been the security on the roof. I’m still thinking it was locals fooling around. I think they would have had to fly it very high for it to get to that speed when it comes into view over the Kremlin... it was in a downward trajectory..

Putin is jealous of Biden Administration’s ability to execute policy based on fairy tales.

You are mystified at how a head of state can travel from Finland to Germany?

Not really an insult. History is not one of the strong suits of most people and I can prove that. I’m not inclined to hold that against people... most have better things to do than reading history books.

Here's a link to the video. See how slowly it glided down at a steep angle. See the two men on the roof. It's silly. The Russians who planned the hoax are stupid.

BREAKING: The Kremlin has reportedly been attacked by at least 2 drones.

Russia now claims that the attacks were an assassination attempt on President Vladimir Putin.

The Two drones (One which can be seen in the video below) exploded behind the Kremlin walls.

Looks more like it was detonated than shot down. It looks as silly as a puppet show.

"Lol. Russia. Bully other nations and then play the victim when they fight back. Like any schoolyard bully. That’s the crux of Russki foreign policy since Ivan the Terrible.

Russia: punch punch punch punch
Victim: Blam!
Russia: look what they did to me. Boo hoo boo hoo.
International crybaby bullies.
"

Well said and very accurate. You'll love the link to the video, if you haven't already seen it (comment #35).

There were two drone attacks. The first hit the Kremlin.The second went past and then exploded or was shot down.

Which would explain the two men on the roof.

Remember the Ukraine grandma.

Elena told the outlet that she was sitting on her balcony smoking just before dawn when she heard a buzzing noise and saw something floating.

At first she thought it was a bird, but then she realised it was something else, she said.

The nearest heavy thing was a jar of pickles under her chair, per Elena’s account.

Per Liga.Life, Elena was most concerned with correcting claims that the pickled vegetables were cucumbers. She said they were actually tomatoes with plums.

“I don’t know where the fables about cucumbers came from,” she said.

The outlet said that Elena broke up the wrecked drone and and puts its remains in separate trash cans for fear that it could still be running tracking or recording software.

Elena told Liga.Life that she thinks the drone was being operated by looters trying to identify empty homes to steal from.

Afterwards, she told the outlet, she swept the street of debris so that dogs on the street wouldn’t cut their paws.

I wonder why they weren’t able to capture pictures of the second drone?
