No, the Kremlin is not on fire but Novodevichy Convent is in Moscow
Live footage of Moscow led some to believe the Kremlin was on fire, but it was the Novodevichy Convent that was ablaze
One of Moscow's big monasteries - Novodevichy Convent, also known as Bogoroditse-Smolensky Monastery, is on fire.
Initially, many speculated on Twitter that it was the Kremlin after a live feed showed the monastery ablaze.
It is currently undergoing major repairs and it initially looked like one of the scaffolding-covered towers went up in flames.

Novodevichy Convent, also known as Bogoroditse-Smolensky Monastery (Russian: Новоде́вичий монасты́рь, Богоро́дице-Смоле́нский монасты́рь), is probably the best-known cloister of Moscow. Its name, sometimes translated as the New Maidens' Monastery, was devised to differ from an ancient maidens' convent within the Moscow Kremlin. Unlike other Moscow cloisters, it has remained virtually intact since the 17th century. In 2004, it was proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I walk away from ATS for an hour and now there's a big fire?!! Is it inside the Kremlin or not? This is very confusing!

No but then I would ask why a camera that is pointing at the Kremlin shows a building 4kms away. If you can answer that I'll shut up.
