Dmitry Medvedev, Russia’s ex-president, called for the “physical elimination” of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday, after Moscow accused Kyiv of a drone attack on the Kremlin.
Russia said Wednesday that it shot down two drones aimed at President Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin residence in response to a “terrorist” assassination attempt by Ukraine.
Despite the claims, Kyiv said it had “nothing to do” with the alleged attack, suggesting it was “staged” by Moscow, while the US said the report should be taken with a “shaker of salt”.
“After today’s terrorist attack, there are no options left aside the physical elimination of Zelensky and his cabal,” said Medvedev, who has been increasingly hawkish since Moscow’s Ukraine offensive.
