The Russian authorities staged the attack to increase public attention to the war and create the conditions for a wider public mobilization.
Russia likely carried out a drone strike on the Kremlin in an attempt to create the conditions for wider public mobilization. This was announced by the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) in a report on May 3.
“Several signs suggest that the strike was deliberately staged. Russian authorities have recently taken steps to strengthen Russia’s internal air defense capabilities, including in Moscow, and therefore it is highly unlikely that the two drones could penetrate several air defense layers and explode or be shot down. right in the middle of the Kremlin in a way that allowed to capture impressive footage, which was successfully captured by the camera,” analysts said.
They believe that the immediate, coordinated and coordinated reaction of the Russian authorities to the incident indicates that the attack was prepared domestically.
“The Kremlin immediately accused Ukraine of carrying out the attack, and official Russian responses quickly rallied around this allegation. If the drone attack had not been orchestrated internally, it would have a surprise… In particular, the Kremlin failed to provide a timely and consistent response to information on other military embarrassments he did not create,” the review said.
ISW noted that the prompt and consistent presentation of Russia’s official narrative surrounding the strike suggests that Russia staged the incident near the May 9 holiday and could use it “to present the war in Ukraine as existential in Russia’s domestic audience and prepare for wider mobilization.
Recall that on Wednesday Moscow announced an “attack by Ukrainian drones” on the Kremlin, regarding it as a “planned terrorist act and an attempt on the life of Russian leader” Vladimir Putin on the eve of Victory Day.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky assured that Kyiv did not make any “attack” on the Kremlin or its head Putin and uses weapons to protect its territory.
