His words came after the press secretary of the Russian president,

Dmitry Peskov

, said on May 4, without providing any evidence, that the United States was behind the alleged drone attack, and suggested that the Ukrainian government was allegedly following the decisions made in Washington.

"Attempts to renounce this both in Kyiv and in Washington are, of course, completely ridiculous.

We know very well that decisions about such actions and terrorist attacks are not made in Kyiv, but in Washington," said Piaskov.

He also said Moscow was considering various options for responding to a possible attack, but did not specify what they might be.

On May 3, the Russian authorities accused Kyiv of a nighttime drone attack on the Kremlin, and Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow considers this attack a "planned terrorist action and an attempt on the president of the Russian Federation."

Representatives of the Office of the President of Ukraine and Uladzimir Zelensky

himself

insist that Kyiv is not involved in the incident and is "fighting on its territory."

US Secretary of State

Anthony Blinken

said he had seen reports from Moscow of an alleged drone attack on the Kremlin.

The head of the US State Department said that "he cannot confirm them in any way".

Meanwhile, the US-based Institute for the Study of War said that Russia likely orchestrated the Kremlin attack "in an effort to bring the war to a Russian domestic audience and create the conditions for greater public mobilization."
