On Wednesday, the Kremlin said that Kiev attempted to strike the Kremlin residence of the Russian President with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on Tuesday night, two drones were disabled, there were no casualties and no material damage.
"Such attempts to disown this [attack] both in Kiev and in Washington — they are, of course, absolutely ridiculous. We are well aware that decisions on such actions and on such terrorist attacks are made not in Kiev, but in Washington. And Kiev is already doing what it [US] tells it to do," Peskov told a briefing.
The attack on the Kremlin is subject to a thorough and prompt investigation, the relevant departments are carrying out this work, Peskov noted.
"Of course, what happened is subject to a very thorough, prompt investigation. You know that the [Russian] Investigative Committee, the necessary departments are engaged in all this," Peskov said.
The official said that the situation in the Kremlin is normal and that work continues. Two sections of the roof that were damaged from the UAVs will be fixed in the next several days, the spokesman added.
"Our special services will make decisions in the current conditions, whether it is worth filming the roof [of the Kremlin that was damaged] up close, considering the risks," Peskov added.
He refused to provide any details regarding Russia's response to the attack on the presidential residence, noting that only thoughtful steps that correspond to the interests of the country can be taken.
"I could not [tell about the Kremlin's response options]. Naturally, I cannot give you any details here. In any case, we can only talk about thoughtful, balanced steps that correspond to the interests of our country," he stated.
According to an official statement made on Wednesday, Russia regards the attack on the residence of President Vladimir Putin as a planned terrorist act and an assassination attempt on the head of state. The Russian leader was not present in the Kremlin at the time of the attack, the statement read.
