Drones over the Kremlin
The news of the attack on the Kremlin was reported by RIA Novosti and immediately confirmed by the Kremlin, which announced the response. “The attack that was thwarted last night with two drones was a Ukrainian terrorist attempt to assassinate President Vladimir Putin, who was not injured,” the agency quoted the press service as saying, adding that “Moscow will take retaliatory measures against Kiev.” the Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin ordered a ban on drone flights over the capital After shooting down the two drones. Russian presidential spokesman, Dmitry PeskovHe then specified that Putin was not in the Kremlin at the time of the attack. “After today’s terrorist attack, there are no other options but the physical elimination of Zelensky. It is not even necessary to sign the act of unconditional surrender. Even Hitler, as you know, did not sign it.” This is the threat on Telegram that came from the deputy head of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev.

Russia: Attempted attack on the Kremlin with drones

But the denial came from Kyiv: “Ukraine, of course, has nothing to do with the drone strikes on the Kremlin.” said so Mykhailo Podolyak, Adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in a message to reporters. Ukrainian media quoted the same information about the spokesman Sergei Nikiforov. “With regard to the drones over the Kremlin, everything is predictable…It is clear that Russia is preparing a large-scale terrorist attackFollow Podolyak on Twitter. Ukraine is waging an exclusively defensive war, not attacking targets on the territory of the Russian Federation ”, because it“ will not solve any military problems and will give Moscow reasons to justify its attacks on civilians. Drones over energy facilities or the Kremlin can only indicate the guerrilla activities of the local resistance forces,” he added.

“We are aware of allegations by the Russian authorities regarding alleged drone strikes affecting the Kremlin and are trying to obtain more information about what really happened. The alleged drone strikes should not be used as a pretext for further escalation of Russia’s ongoing aggression outside its borders.” So Peter Stano, spokesperson for the European Commission’s External Action Service.
