Ukraine Media has gone bonkers tonight with a claim of an alleged assassination attempt of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ukraine-affiliated social media platform which goes by the name UKE Report has broken this shocking story on the microblogging site “Twitter”. The message said,
"ACCORDING TO AN OFFICIAL FROM THE KREMLIN, PUTIN'S LIMOUSINE WAS ATTACKED BY THE BOMBER. BUT PUTIN WAS NOT IN IT".
Again, the same official reported that many of the prime minister’s bodyguards were arrested, the limousine was taken to a safe area and the President was unharmed. The first escort car in Putin’s convoy was blocked by an ambulance, the second escort car changed direction due to a sudden obstacle and broke away from the convoy. Then there was an explosion in the front wheel of the limousine and smoke rose.
However, the vehicle that exploded was fake.”
There have been no other confirmations on this news so far.
Earlier in August, The daughter of an influential Russian political theorist who is often referred to as “Putin’s brain” was killed in a car bombing on the outskirts of Moscow, officials said Sunday.
The Moscow branch of the Russian Investigative Committee said preliminary information indicated a bomb planted in the SUV driven by Daria Dugina, 29, exploded Saturday night and killed the TV commentator who was the daughter of Alexander Dugin, a nationalist philosopher and writer.
Russia Blamed the Ukrainian Intelligence Agency for the strike. But the Ukrainian media and social media accounts are involved in spreading false stories to boost the morale of Ukrainian. This could well be another propaganda and fake news from their side.
