Iran Press/ America: Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the allegation in a briefing to reporters, claiming that Ukraine had acted on U.S. orders with the alleged drone attack on the Kremlin citadel Wednesday night.
“We know very well that decisions about such actions, about such terrorist attacks, are made not in Kyiv, but in Washington. And Kyiv does what it is told to do. We know that often even the goals themselves are not determined by Kyiv, but they are determined in Washington and then taken to Kyiv so that Kyiv implements them,” Peskov said.
Responding to Peskov’s accusation during an interview on “Morning Joe” early on Thursday, Kirby denied any U.S. involvement and accused the Kremlin spokesperson of lying.
Kirby also said that it remains unclear what exactly happened at Putin’s residence. “We still don’t really know what happened,” Kirby said, adding that Washington is assessing the situation.
According to a statement released by Russia’s presidential press service on May 3, a drone attack occurred Wednesday night. Both drones fell on the grounds of the Kremlin in Moscow—without causing casualties or material damage—after being disabled by “electronic warfare measures,” according to the statement.
Putin was not in the Kremlin complex when the alleged attacks occurred, Peskov told reporters Wednesday night. On Thursday, he said Putin was in the Kremlin building and staff were working normally.
Ukraine, meanwhile, has denied any involvement in the reported attack, which was captured in an unverified video showing two flying objects approaching the Kremlin and one exploding with a bright flash.
