3:02 am
attack and smoke rising above the main kremlin palace. there has been no independent verification of this footage, but russia accuses ukraine of trying to assassinate putin. ukrainian president volota may zalinski denied any involvement in the alleged incident. oh, we don't attack fortune or moscow i'll we fly to home on our territory when defending our will in just as it is. we don't have you know enough of them for these. that's why we don't use it any anywhere for, for us. that is a deficit. lately. cons banded and we didn't attack pu tim. we leave it to tribunal on how it's going in. washington. u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin. cast doubt on the kremlin allegations. these are decisions for ukraine's.
3:03 am
i've seen the reports. i can't in any way validate them. we simply, we simply don't know. i'm 2nd, i would take anything coming out of the kremlin with a very large shaker salt. so let's see. ah, we'll see what, what, what the facts are. and it's, it's really hard to comment or speculate on this without really, really knowing what the facts are. moscow has threatened to retaliate against ukraine, making residents of keith, worried for their safety. when it was a chair they might try attacking the strategic objects. your decisions are made in key if you actually did my chair, let's let them his eyes. again, we need to remain in safety and take care of ourselves and our loved ones with semi medic this have at that with me. for now, putin remains safe. moscow announced that he will take part in
3:04 am
a scheduled world war to victory day parade on red square. next week. did up the course london, nick connelly's in the ukrainian capital. he is what he had to say about present. zalinski is denial, and the russian reaction that obviously makes a lot of sense. but equally, when you look at previous attacks by drones on russian soil attacks that most pundits experts say are very lucky to be ukrainian ones present. lensky doesn't come out with these kinds of claims, doesn't come out with these kinds of announcements to the world, basically. and if it were then later proved that these were indeed ukrainian techs that would be very, very embarrassing and very bad for his credibility, which he desperately needs to get weapons and other western support. in the past we've seen 2nd or 3rd echelon, grand officials being wheeled out to kind of say no, that wasn't us. gov and then you know, kind of disappear again into the isa. i think there is a real worry hearing here that if lots of people in europe who are maybe worried about escalation, worried about supplying ukraine with alms,
3:05 am
would believe that this was a ukrainian attack on the kremlin, on the center of russian power. that they might pull back and say, this is getting too dangerous. this is, you know, there is risk of contagion here. we need to put the brake on support for ukraine. earlier asked our correspondent, men, as if in washington, for the u. s. reaction to russia's claims at these were ukrainian drones. so far it's basically been what antony blinkin said, that they have no more information. us intelligence officials have said they don't have further information. they were not warned of the attack beforehand and they're still trying to find out what exactly happened now. blinking was in this interview with the washington post. he said he did not have any further information. what is really interesting here is that when he was pressed by the reporter on whether or not washington would condemn a drone attack by key of on the capital of russia. he said that he would leave it to ukraine to decide itself how to defend their country. in
3:06 am
a recent pentagon leak suggest the u. s. would know if ukraine would truly behind this. so, um, is there something they're not telling us? oh, you know, are they being up front here? that's right. the recent leaks out of the pentagon showed that the u, that ukraine was actually plodding to attack moscow on february 24th. that was the 1st anniversary of the russian invasion. and that the united states actually dissuaded them from carrying this plot out, arguing that it wouldn't have anything further than escalation of the conflict there. but what's interesting here is that the, the wording used in this league document was that they had persuaded them from that they had to convince them to postpone this attack, which would imply that it could happen at a later date. now, as we've heard that analysts doubt that kia is behind this particular drone attack . but what is key here is that it has been at one point, at least on keith's on kim's plan of attack. and also that we're pretty sure
3:07 am
that us intelligence officials would know enough about what ukraine is doing to know if such an attack were pulled off. so i, i believe that there's little doubt here, the u. s. a would know more than what they're saying about who's behind this attack in moscow. art, you know, the correspond as i mean, as if in washington, thank you for bringing us up to speed snow in russia, finding independent information about the war and ukraine is extremely difficult. western media is no longer available and access to social media is restricted and he slipped from finland has now come up with a novel way to bypass censorship and get information about the war into the country . hidden inside, one of russia's most popular video games is a room with a kremlin, doesn't want players to find deep within accustom map for the online shoot a game counter strike. a finished newspaper has hidden a treasure trove of band information. element of target on its and to underlying
