I just read something quite shocking about what happened in Russia recently. Apparently, there was an assassination attempt against Putin on May 20, 2025, while he was visiting the Kursk region. According to reports from military commander Yuri Dashkin, Ukraine launched a massive drone attack that day specifically targeting the presidential helicopter.



The interesting part is that the Russian air defense systems supposedly managed to intercept all the drones before they reached the aircraft. Dashkin mentioned that between May 20 and 22, they destroyed around 1,170 drones in the region, with intense aerial combat to protect the president. In the end, Putin came out unscathed, and there was no damage to his convoy.

What’s curious is that Ukraine has not responded to these accusations of the assassination attempt so far. There is also no independent verification of what actually happened that day. Some international media continue to question whether Putin was really the target or if there’s more to the story.

This Kursk region seems to be a hotspot for these drone operations. It raises a lot of questions about how these modern conflicts are evolving. What do you all think? Do you believe it really happened this way, or is there more behind it?
