Who fired two drones at the Kremlin, and what does the act say about the course of the war in Ukraine?
of President Vladimir Putin—thus giving Moscow leave to respond in kind, i.e., to assassinate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.Some observers see the claim as evidence that the drones may have been a “
”—an attack concocted by Putin and his cronies in a way that would miss Putin but give them an excuse to kill Zelensky., just after President Boris Yeltsin appointed Putin prime minister, several buildings were bombed in Moscow and other Russian cities. As was later learned, the culprits were Russian state secret police officers trying to whip up popular frenzy against Muslim terrorists—which is exactly what Putin proceeded to do, using the attacks as an excuse to step up the war in Chechnya.
Drones over the Kremlin also create the impression that the war has made all Russians everywhere, even the Russian state’s top leaders, vulnerable—and that can’t be a good feeling for people who look to their leader to keep them, at the very least, secure.It’s possible that Putin’s megalomania has reached such heights that he thinks his own endangerment at the hands of Ukrainian murderers would whip the Russian people into a frenzy of patriotism and renewed support of the war.
Another possibility is that the drones were fired by Russian rebels—either ordinary citizens critical of the war or dissident military officers. Most citizens opposed to the war, and to Putin, have either gone into exile or been locked up in jails, but a few adventurous saboteurs may well have stayed behind to wreak what havoc they can manage.
But, as with the theory about domestic saboteurs, the drones may have been meant to screw with the minds of Russians, to make them nervous about Putin’s continued rule. In this sense, the targets may have been two kinds of Russians: ordinary citizens, whose sons and husbands have been turned into cannon fodder for Putin’s war; and the elite, who now see that Putin can’t fully protect himself, much less extend his shroud over their own lives and fortunes.
