Russian officials have swiftly dismissed recent accusations made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who alleged that Kremlin leadership is taking refuge in bomb shelters amid escalating tensions. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov labeled these claims as “nothing but baseless propaganda,” emphasizing that Russian leaders continue their duties without hiding or seeking shelter. The statements come as Ukraine intensifies its rhetoric to rally international support against Moscow’s ongoing military operations.

The Russian government further countered Zelenskiy’s remarks by presenting several points aimed at debunking the narrative:

  • Transparency: Officials maintain regular public appearances and media interactions.
  • Security Measures: Routine protocols in place do not imply fear or retreat.
  • Military Stance: Moscow asserts unwavering confidence in its strategic operations.
