Moscow accuses Ukraine of trying to attack the Kremlin with drones. Kiev denies the accusations: Drones can be bought at any arms store
The Russians accuse Ukraine of trying to attack the Kremlin with drones, but that the attack was successfully repelled, reads a statement from the Kremlin press service, BBC reports.
The regime in Moscow claims that the so-called "Kiev attack" was a "planned terrorist attack" and an attempt on Vladimir Putin's life before the Victory Day celebration, at which the presence of foreign guests is also planned, says the Kremlin, which mentions it will act "appropriately" on the alleged attack. Video images of the alleged attack on the Kremlin also appeared on social networks.
The presidency in Kiev rejected the accusations, saying that Ukraine was not involved in the attack on the Kremlin.
*"We have no information about the so-called night attacks on the Kremlin, but as President Zelensky has repeatedly stated, Ukraine directs all available forces and means to liberate its own territories, and not to attack others", said Volodymyr Zelensky's press secretary, Sergei Nikiforov.
According to him, terrorist attacks are the destroyed stairs of the buildings in Dnieper and Uman, "and what happened in Moscow, obviously, is an escalation of the situation before May 9."
This does not solve any military problem, and drones can be bought at any arms store, said the adviser to the head of the Presidential Administration, Mihail Podoliak. "The appearance of unknown drones at energy facilities or on the territory of the Kremlin can only indicate the activity of local resistance forces," Podoliak wrote on Twitter.
