The X post states in full:
A luxury limousine from Vladimir Putin’s official motorcade EXPLODED in the streets of Moscow, just blocks from FSB HQ.
The Aurus Senat — a £275,000 armoured beast — was engulfed in flames, fuelled by a violent engine blast.
Who was inside?
Was it sabotage?
Was this a targeted hit on Russia’s most protected man?
This comes amid reports of intensified security around Putin: Ceremonial guards searched head to toe.
Sewers inspected for bombs.
A real threat emerging? The Kremlin is silent. Speculation is NOT.
If this was an assassination attempt, the global consequences will be seismic.
That last statement is a gross understatement, if anything. If this was an assassination attempt, we can expect a serious Russian response.
Speculation - and speculation only - is circulating that this was an attack and that it may have been ordered by Ukraine's President Zelensky.

BREAKING: ALERT:🚨 DID ZELENSKY ORDER A HIT ON PUTIN? 🚨
Just HOURS after Zelensky declared that “Putin will die soon” in a bombshell interview…

Nothing as yet has been confirmed except the fact that the explosion and fire have taken place. In the videos attached to the X posts presented here, you can see the flames, and unidentified personnel throwing water on the blazing limousine.
The limo was near the Moscow headquarters of the Federal'naya Sluzhba Bezopasnosti Rossiyskoy Federatsii, or FSB, Russia's primary security agency and successor of the Soviet-era KGB. There is no news as to whether the limousine was going to or coming from the FSB, or who (if anyone) was inside.
If this was an attempt on Vladimir Putin's life - there is as yet no evidence either way, and the Russian government has not released any statement - this could be an earth-shaking development. If another nation was involved, there would almost certainly be retaliation by Russia. If a known terror group was involved, again, repercussions would likely be very, very serious.
Assuming Putin was not in the limo, it's a certainty that his security services are now drawn around him as tight as possible.
