Russia had blamed the US for the attack, which it claimed was aimed at killing President Vladimir Putin. However, Kirby said that the US does not endorse attacks on individual leaders and does not encourage or enable Ukraine to strike outside its borders.<\/p>\n<h3>Putin&#8217;s Spokesman Accuses US of Alleged Attack<\/h3>\n<p>Putin&#8217;s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, accused the US of being &#8220;undoubtedly&#8221; behind the alleged attack on Wednesday, without providing evidence. Kirby called Peskov&#8217;s statement a lie and added that Putin was &#8220;the aggressor&#8221; in Ukraine and could end the conflict by withdrawing from Ukraine&#8217;s territory he invaded in February 2022.<\/p>\n<h3>NATO&#8217;s Intelligence Chief Warns of Possible Sabotage<\/h3>\n<p>Kirby also addressed concerns about Russia potentially sabotaging NATO&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ludicrous-us-denies-russias-accusation-its-behind-kremlin-drone-attack\/\" title=\"US denies Russia's accusation of being behind Kremlin drone attack, calling it 'ludicrous'.\">critical infrastructure systems<\/a>, particularly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nord-stream-whodunit-gets-complicated-as-russia-takes-steps-to-repair-sabotaged-pipelines\/\" title=\"Nord Stream Whodunit gets complicated as Russia takes steps to repair sabotaged pipelines\">undersea cables<\/a>.

Kirby said that the US had been watching this closely since the beginning of the war and that they were mindful of the situation.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The US has denied Russia&#8217;s allegation of a drone attack on the Kremlin and called it a lie. Kirby emphasized that the US does not endorse attacks on individual leaders and does not encourage or enable Ukraine to strike outside its borders. He also addressed concerns about Russia potentially sabotaging NATO&#8217;s critical infrastructure systems and said that the US had been watching this closely since the beginning of the war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON (Reuters)\u2014The United States dismissed Russia&#8217;s allegation on Thursday that Washington was behind what it said was a drone attack on the Kremlin, saying Moscow&#8217;s assertion was a lie. &#8220;Obviously it&#8217;s a\u00a0ludicrous\u00a0claim,&#8221; White House national security spokesman John Kirby said hours after Russia blamed the United States for what it called an attack aimed at<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":1924711,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[7163,4002,4206,4775,11948,4885,9035,9987],"class_list":["post-1924710","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon","tag-accusation","tag-attack","tag-calling","tag-denies","tag-drone","tag-kremlin","tag-ludicrous","tag-russias"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924710","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1924710"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924710\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1924711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1924710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1924710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1924710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
