Last night’s drone attack on the Kremlin raises many questions and is mainly a source of speculation, according to European journalist Geert Jan Hahn. The Kremlin released a statement this afternoon accusing Ukraine of the attack. Kiev, meanwhile, categorically denies it. Hahn sees no reason for Ukraine for this attack and counts on a Russian false flag.
‘A false flag from Moscow could legitimize retaliatory measures from Russia,” says Hahn. Russia has already threatened to do so. On the eve of a possible counter-offensive, I don’t think Biden and Scholz are happy with such an escalation. And Zelensky’s adviser says this it would provoke Russia to more radical actions.’
Hahn therefore does not see a motive from Kiev for this attack. He takes into account an action by Russian or Ukrainian partisans. “They could have done it without consulting Kiev or Moscow.”
I waited a long time
Either way, the attack raises many questions, Hahn says. “Why can those drones get so close to the Kremlin in the first place and why did the Kremlin release it only 12 hours after the explosions? The Kremlin waited 12 hours to make this statement, which is a long time.’
Hahn dares to dispute that the attack was completely staged. He found the images of the attack in a Telegram channel, which had already been published at 2:30 last night. «Some kind of neighborhood app from a Moscow suburb showed pictures of explosions above the Kremlin last night. I can’t verify the authenticity of the video, but at least the first report of that hack was made at the time. Something happened, but otherwise it’s a big smokescreen.’
Not at home
Putin himself was not at home when the attack took place. According to Hahn, he was at a birthday party at an estate in St. Petersburg. “Ukraine has very good information from Russia, I think they should know for sure that Putin was not in the Kremlin.”
