White House national security spokesman John Kirby said Russia's claims that the United States was linked to the drone attack on the Kremlin were "false" European Union warned against using the supposed attack to intensify attacks on Ukraine. Moscow announced yesterday that the Kremlin had been attacked with two drones thwarted by air defenses, saying it was aimed at assassinating President Vladimir Putin.
Kiev denied any involvement in the operation, accusing Moscow of deliberately highlighting it in the media to justify any possible escalation. The European Union's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell warned Russia not to use this supposed attack as an excuse to continue escalating the war.
