On Thursday, the Russian presidency accused the United States of ordering Ukraine to launch the supposed attack that targeted, by two drones, the Kremlin building in Moscow on Wednesday, with the intention of assassinating President Vladimir Putin, which was thwarted by Russian defenses, and Kiev denies any involvement in it.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, "Efforts by Kiev and Washington to deny any responsibility (for the supposed attack) are completely absurd. Decisions regarding such attacks are not taken in Kiev, but in Washington. Kiev just does what is asked of it."
"Washington must understand that we know this," he told reporters.

Peskov said that Putin "works in the Kremlin and will hold an important meeting with the Minister of Economic Development" on Thursday, stressing that security measures will be "strengthened" after the supposed attack.

He said, "All of this will be strengthened, for sure, and everything has been strengthened in the framework of preparations for the military parade" in Red Square in Moscow to commemorate the ninth of May, that is, the victory over Nazi Germany.

He explained that "specialists" are in the process of "conducting in-depth analyzes" to understand how the supposed attack was carried out with two drones.

On Wednesday, Kiev denied any involvement in the attack, accusing Moscow of deliberately highlighting it in the media to justify any possible escalation of the conflict.
In recent days, drone incursions and acts of sabotage with bombs on Russian territory have been repeated.

On Thursday, the Russian Foreign Ministry said, "The terrorist and sabotage operations of the Ukrainian armed forces are taking on an unprecedented dimension."
