Did Ukraine really launch a foiled missile attack on the home of Russian President Vladimir Putin, or did Russia itself carry out a fake operation to trap Ukraine and find a pretext for new attacks? America, which was silent on this matter till now, has finally broken its silence. American media have reported that the CIA has found no evidence of any such attack.
Russia is an obstacle to peace – New York Post
American media gave this information quoting American officials. According to him, the CIA estimates that Ukraine did not recently target Russian President Putin’s house. American media quoted sources as saying that the CIA chief later told President Trump that the agency did not believe this to be true.
Then, on Wednesday, Trump posted a link to a New York Post editorial on Truth Social. The headline of that link was, “Putin’s attack shows Russia is an obstacle to peace.” The post said that it is good that Putin believes that any violence around him should cause special anger and any attack on Putin is completely justified.
Was Putin’s house really attacked?
The board wrote, “But the problem is that the drone strike probably never happened. Zelensky has flatly denied this. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the Russians cannot provide any evidence. Zelensky told the media that they can certainly believe the Kremlin (Russia), but we will not.” The Russian leader had told US President Donald Trump about this over the phone on Monday. Russia had alleged that Ukraine had tried to attack Putin’s house on Monday. CIA Director John Ratcliffe informed Trump about this assessment on Wednesday. Trump expressed anger over the alleged attack.
The US President told the media that he was troubled by the alleged incident. However, Ukraine clearly denied any such attack. “I don’t like it. It’s not good,” Trump said. The US President expressed strong displeasure. He acknowledged that the allegation may be false and that no such attack had taken place. The US President added, “But President Putin told me this morning that it did happen.”
Why are ‘false operations’ performed?
According to defense experts, such operations are often carried out in times of war to garner domestic and international support. Accusing the enemy of an attack helps justify retaliatory military action, garner public sympathy, and exert diplomatic pressure. This is why doubts are being raised about the alleged attack on Putin’s house, and some people are suggesting that Russia itself may have carried out this attack to create an excuse for new attacks against Ukraine. These suspicions have been further fueled by the CIA not finding any concrete evidence of the attack.
