Alleged Putin assassination is 'false flag' orchestrated to bolster Russia's war effort, experts claim

Russian government officials on Wednesday claimed that Ukrainian forces attempted to kill President Vladimir Putin with a failed drone attack.  Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news. 

Video released by Russian media showed a small explosion over the president’s residence at the Kremlin compound, which officials say were attacks by two drones that were disabled by defense systems, with no injuries or damage to the residence reported.
