A Russian commander claims President Putin’s helicopter was near a Ukrainian drone attack in Kursk Oblast during a May 20 visit. Yury Dashkin stated Putin’s aircraft was “at the epicenter” while repelling the assault. This was Putin’s first publicized visit since Russian forces regained control in March 2025.
Interesting claim about Putin’s helicopter being near a drone attack. It’s hard to verify such statements without concrete evidence. If true, it raises questions about the security measures in place during his visit. The fact that this is his first publicized visit since March 2025 adds another layer of significance. I wonder how this incident might impact public perception of his safety. Do you think this was a deliberate attempt to target him, or just a coincidence? Would love to hear more details if there’s any follow-up on this.
