MOSCOW (AP) — Russian authorities have accused Ukraine of attempting to attack the Kremlin with two drones overnight in an effort to assassinate President Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin on Wednesday (May 3, 2023) decried the alleged attack attempt as a “terrorist act” and said Russian military and security forces “disabled” the drones before they could strike.
