Russia denied what was reported by a British newspaper about an assassination attempt against President Vladimir Putin with a bomb.
On Thursday, Russian presidential spokesman (Kremlin) Dmitry Peskov said that what was published by the British newspaper "The Sun" about the attempt to assassinate Putin in the capital, Moscow, on Wednesday morning is incorrect.
The Russian President arrived yesterday in Samarkand in Uzbekistan to attend the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which includes Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, in addition to 4 observer countries: Iran, Belarus, Afghanistan and Mongolia.
The newspaper "The Sun" reported that the Russian president was subjected to an assassination attempt, the details of which are still unknown, but related to a bomb and an ambulance.
The newspaper quoted sources in the Kremlin that Putin's limousine was attacked with a bomb, but the president was not hurt and was secured.
The British newspaper claimed that the assassination attempt was carried out using an ambulance and a motorbike, and that the attack was linked to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Earlier, press reports confirmed that the Russian president survived 5 assassination attempts, and that he is now very worried about his life to the point that he always surrounds himself with the best snipers.
