Putin Helicopter Drone Attack Claim Rocks International Stage Amidst Russia's Major Ukraine Assault

Reports from a Russian military officer suggest that Ukrainian forces attempted to assassinate Vladimir Putin with a drone strike on May 20th, 2025, targeting his helicopter during a visit to the Kursk region. While the claim hasn't been independently verified by Ukraine, the incident has sparked significant international attention. The alleged attack followed by Russia's largest aerial assault on Ukraine since the invasion began, resulting in at least 14 civilian deaths, according to news reports. The scale of the attack and the unverified assassination attempt have raised tensions further. Former US President Donald Trump commented on the situation, stating, "Putin has gone absolutely crazy." The events underscore the ongoing volatility of the conflict and the need for accurate information verification.
