According to Russian media, the press secretary of the President of Russia, Dmitry Peskov, stated on May 3 that early in the morning, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attempted to strike the residence of the President of Russia in the Kremlin.
According to Peskov, two unmanned aerial vehicles were targeted at the Kremlin but were disabled.
The press service of the President of Russia reported that they assess these actions as “an assassination attempt on the President of the Russian Federation.” “The Russian side reserves the right to take retaliatory measures wherever and whenever it deems necessary,” the statement said.
