The dictator's participation in the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is in question.

The visit of Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin to the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum may be in question after the recent drone attack on the port in St. Petersburg, writes "Dialog.UA".

At the moment, it is known about a strong fire in the area of the Big Port of St. Petersburg, where several fires were recorded at once. At the same time, news about restrictions in the work of the local airport are coming from the city.

There is also information in the network about possible cancelation of the forum as such or postponement of its opening to another date. Meanwhile, the distance between the ExpoForum Convention and Exhibition Center, where the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is planned, and the port hit by drones is about 15-20 kilometers in a straight line.

A large fire caused a high column of smoke to rise over the city, which can be seen from different parts of St. Petersburg and its suburbs, including from the SPIEF venue.
