This Thursday the Kremlin announced that it is commissioning the construction of a new bomb shelter for senior state officials who are in the Russian capital. This measure was taken after the second attack against Moscow and the first against residential areas was registered this week, although no deaths were recorded in this event.
The bunker, which will have an initial cost of about $440,000, will be completed on December 20 of this year. According to local media, it is a protective civil defense structure that will be built at the Central Clinical Hospital where senior officials of the Russian Federation are treated. In addition, the facility would have a special communication system and also the necessary technical equipment to prevent the leak of secret information.
The Kremlin considered this Tuesday that the drone attack against Moscow was a response from Ukraine to the constant bombing of the city of Kiev, with which the Russians affirm that this new attack on their capital is a sign of the need to continue with the campaign of invasion of the ukrainians According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov, he stated that President Putin has no special plans to address the Russians with statements about the attack.
In addition, at the beginning of the month, the seat of the Russian Government since the Soviet Union, the Kremlin, was attacked by two drones on its iconic flagpole, where this year the colors of the Russian Federation fly and in 1991 the red and yellow colors were lowered.
This attack has not generated positive reactions for the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, since Moscow accuses Kiev of attempted assassination against Vladimir Putin. For its part, the White House stated that it does not support attacks inside Russia or the use of US equipment to carry them out.
US government spokeswoman Karine-Jean Pierre told the media that they are still gathering information about this incident to get a better perspective and some clarity on what happened in Moscow.
