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.
Plot to assassinate Putin is direct path to nuclear war — State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin believes that amid the current tough confrontation, the Russian society needs to 'understand the level of challenges and threats that we are facing'
MOSCOW, January 29. /TASS/. A plot to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin and discussions on the subject constitute a crime and a serious threat to global security, said Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of the State Duma (the Russian parliament’s lower chamber).
"The plot to assassinate Putin, mere discussions of it is a crime, a serious threat to global security, a direct path to nuclear war. All international institutions should view it as a basis for an investigation," Volodin wrote on Telegram.
He believes that amid the current tough confrontation, the Russian society needs to "understand the level of challenges and threats that we are facing, and, therefore, understand their own responsibility."
According to Tucker Carlson, the Joe Biden administration considered assassinating Putin. The US journalist said that, in general, the US authorities intended to engage in a suicidal confrontation with Moscow. In particular, former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was "pushing so hard for a real war" between the US and Russia in his last two months in office.
