Luck has nothing to do with it.
Apparently, irony is not a concept that applies in Russia........May 3 (Reuters) - Russia accused Ukraine on Wednesday of attacking the Kremlin with drones overnight in a failed attempt to kill President Vladimir Putin.
A senior Ukrainian presidential official said Kyiv had nothing to do with the purported incident, the most dramatic accusation Russia has levelled against Ukraine since invading its neighbour more than 14 months ago.
The Kremlin said two drones had been used in the alleged attack on Putin's residence in the walled Kremlin citadel, but had been disabled by electronic defences.
It said Russia reserved the right to retaliate - a comment that suggested that Moscow might use the alleged incident to justify a further escalation in its war with Ukraine.
"Two unmanned aerial vehicles were aimed at the Kremlin. As a result of timely actions taken by the military and special services with the use of radar warfare systems, the devices were put out of action," the Kremlin said in a statement.
"We regard these actions as a planned terrorist act and an attempt on the president's life, carried out on the eve of Victory Day, the May 9 Parade, at which the presence of foreign guests is also planned ...
"The Russian side reserves the right to take retaliatory measures where and when it sees fit."

Like they didn't send out hit squads looking for Zelenskyy, now they're whining about being given their own medicine. It's a shame the didn't succeed. The world would be better with Putin dead.
False flag operation. Two drones hitting the roof at night. I guess Ukrainian intelligence place Putin gazing out each night from rooftop windows in the Kremlin and not in a palatial bunker.May 3 (Reuters) - Russia accused Ukraine on Wednesday of attacking the Kremlin with drones overnight in a failed attempt to kill President Vladimir Putin.

Putin as a stargazer on the roof?
Fully agree. If the Ukrainians were going to have a real go at Putin they would have come up with something better
is so absurd, it borders on being scripted comic material if it weren't for the horrors that Russia has inflicted on Ukraine during the past year.
Don't forget the nuclear threat
He does miss the CCCP. He wanders up the Kremlin steps in his nightgown each night to gaze upon that glowing red star above Moscow.
