Russia Blames United States for Alleged Drone Attack on Kremlin

On Wednesday, two drones reportedly crashed into the Kremlin, which Russian security forces shot down. The Kremlin called it a “planned terrorist act” by Ukraine. However, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov shifted the blame to the United States a day later, stating that “decisions on such a level of terrorist attacks are made not in Kyiv, but in Washington.”

U.S. Denies Involvement

National security spokesman John Kirby denied Moscow’s allegations, stating that “the United States had nothing to do with this. We don’t even know exactly what happened here.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also denied Russia’s allegations, stating that “we didn’t attack Putin. We leave it to tribunal.”

Speculation Surrounding the Incident

Some speculation about the incident has suggested that Ukraine or Russia could have been behind the drones. Le Beck head of intelligence Michael Horowitz said, “this looks like #Ukraine (assuming it was Ukraine) is trying to bring the war home to #Russia, by hitting symbolic targets.”

Conclusion

While the source of the drones remains unknown, it is clear that tensions between Russia and Ukraine continue to escalate. The world watches with bated breath as the situation unfolds.
