Following the attempted assassination of Russian President Vladimir Putin in a drone attack targeting the Kremlin, Russian Duma Deputy Viktor Sobolev called on Wednesday for a missile strike on the residence of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Additionally, the Chairman of the Russian Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, demanded the use of "weapons capable of deterring and destroying the regime in Kyiv." He added in a statement on the messaging app "Telegram" that Russia should not negotiate with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after the alleged attack, which Kyiv denied responsibility for.
