The Senate Palace in the Moscow Kremlin was attacked by two drones on Wednesday night. It is now known what is under the dome that can be seen in the images of the alleged attack: this includes the study and an apartment of Russian President Vladimir Putin. In any case, the Kremlin boss shouldn’t feel safe there anymore – he’s already chosen a new job…
The Senate Palace is the central official residence of the Russian head of state. The facade is also visible from Red Square, where the large dome is particularly striking. There, under the dome, are Putin’s cabinet and his apartment in the Kremlin. It also houses the offices of the President’s Chief of Administration and his deputies, as well as boardrooms.
Donetsk and Lugansk recognized
Exactly where the dome stands, according to the Faridaily Project of Russian journalists Maxim Tovkajlo and Farida Rustamova, Putin would have received Chinese President Xi Jinping. And what is especially striking: on February 21, 2022, at an extraordinary session of the Security Council, the Kremlin ruler recognized the self-proclaimed “people’s republics” of Donetsk and Lugansk.
What happened?
Russia accuses Ukraine of using drones to attack the Moscow Kremlin and attempt to assassinate President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday evening. Putin was unharmed, he was not in the Kremlin at the time of the attack, the presidential office said Wednesday. This is considered a terrorist attack. Ukraine denied the allegations.
Debris from the drones fell on the Kremlin grounds, according to Russian authorities. There were no casualties and no damage to buildings. In a video shared on social media, faint plumes of smoke could be seen over the Kremlin. The authenticity of the video could not be confirmed at first.
Putin conducted his official business in his hometown of Novo Ogaryovo outside Moscow on Wednesday, according to the state news agency RIA. The President’s Office also announced that the May 9 military parade in Moscow, which is also expected to host foreign guests, will be held as scheduled. The Red Army’s victory over Nazi Germany is traditionally celebrated on this day.
