On Thursday, Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry S. Peskov, accused the United States of being directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine and blamed them for the recent drone attack on the Kremlin.
Peskov stated “We know well that the decisions about such actions and such terrorist acts are made not in Kyiv, but in Washington.”
On Wednesday several videos went viral after they showed two explosions over the Kremlin early Wednesday, which Russia claimed was a drone attack by Ukraine on President Vladimir V. Putin’s residence.
Ukraine however has denied any involvement.
Per the New York Times:
Russia blamed the United States on Thursday for the apparent drone attack on the Kremlin, doubling down on accusing Washington of “direct involvement” in the war in Ukraine.
Dmitri S. Peskov, the spokesman for President Vladimir V. Putin, repeatedly told reporters in a daily conference call that the United States was behind the episode at the Kremlin. Video footage verified by The New York Times showed two explosions over the Kremlin early Wednesday, an incident that Russia described as a Ukrainian drone attack on Mr. Putin’s Kremlin residence. Ukraine has denied involvement.
Mr. Peskov claimed on Thursday that the United States bore responsibility for the attack because it provided targeting information to Ukraine.
“We know well that the decisions about such actions and such terrorist acts are made not in Kyiv, but in Washington,” Mr. Peskov said. “Kyiv then does what it’s told.”
Journalist Jack Posobiec has described the recent drone attack at the Kremlin as the point of no return.

In response to Russia’s claims that the United States is involved with the recent drone attack of the Kremlin, Spokesperson for the White House National Security Council John Kirby stated “We had nothing to do with this.”
