Vehicle from Russian president’s fleet explodes and burns as locals dash out to try to help

Ukraine has been accused of attempting to assassinate Russian president Vladimir Putin, after a limousine from Putin’s official transport fleet exploded and burned in Moscow on Saturday evening:

Putin reportedly ordered searches of sewers in the area after the £200,000+ Aurus limousine exploded just north of the headquarters of Russia’s FSB security service. Workers from nearby buildings ran into the street to help extinguish the flames until firefighters arrived.

The explosion is being seen as an attempt by Ukraine to force the US to abandon its push for a peace deal forcing Ukraine to stand down, to accept that it will not join NATO and to cede Russian-speaking areas of Ukraine in return for peace. The insistence of Britain and the EU on continuing to fund and equip Ukraine to continue war may well have emboldened Ukraine’s regime to try to prolong the fighting despite reportedly catastrophic losses in military personnel that have seen Ukrainian men abducted from the streets and press-ganged into army service.
