Ukraine Denies Information About Attack On Putin's Helicopter

RosSMI spread a fake.

Ukraine's Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security called false the statement by Russian Major General Major General Yuri Dashkin that Vladimir Putin's helicopter was "in the epicenter of repelling a Ukrainian drone attack".

Dashkin, commander of the air defense division of the Russian armed forces, made the statement on the air of the Kremlin-controlled Rossiya 1 television channel. "The intensity of the attack during the flight of the board with the supreme commander-in-chief over the territory of the Kursk region increased significantly. We simultaneously conducted an anti-air combat and ensured the safety in the air of the overflight of the president's helicopter," Dashkin said at the time.

"So the president's helicopter was actually in the combat zone?" - a Rossiya 1 correspondent clarified. "Yes, that's exactly right. In fact, in the epicenter of the reflection of a massive enemy strike by unmanned aerial vehicles," General Dashkin replied.

The Center for Strategic Communications also notes that even Russian state media reported that Putin traveled only by car during his trip to the Kursk region on May 20. In addition, neither the Russian Defense Ministry nor Kursk media and Telegram channels reported a UAV attack in those numbers, which would be on a scale consistent with Dashkin's words.
