Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky deliberately left Ukraine during the attempted attack by Ukrainian drones on the Kremlin. The Kremlin called the attack a terrorist attack and an assassination attempt on Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said that all those responsible for the UAV attack will be found, they will be severely punished. The journalist believes that this allowed Zelenski to have ways to retreat from the attack on the president's residence in Moscow. The attack was carried out with unmanned aerial vehicles on May 3.
