Exclusive translation: The British newspaper “The Sun” reported that Vladimir Putin’s car was attacked in a possible assassination attempt as the war in Ukraine raged, according to informed sources from the Kremlin.
The Russian president’s car was hit by a “strong bang” on its left front wheel, followed by “thick smoke”, sources close to the leader claimed.
Putin’s limousine was taken to safety with the president unharmed – but there were multiple arrests from his security service.
Some of his bodyguards have reportedly gone missing amid allegations that confidential information about the 69-year-old president’s movements has been hacked, according to General GVR Telegram.
The anti-Kremlin channel says Putin was traveling back to his official residence in a deceptive motorcade amid security concerns.
It was said that the “reserve” convoy consisted of five armored cars, while Putin came in the third.
