The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation called the statements of Ukraine and the United States about their non-involvement in this attack ridiculousMOSCOW, May 4.
/tass/. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation and other agencies are now investigating the attack of Ukrainian drones on the Kremlin, the timing of this work depends on them, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday.
"Of course, what happened is subject to a very thorough investigation. Operational investigation. You know that the Investigative Committee and the necessary services are engaged in all this. When to wait for the results - I can't tell you here, it already depends on them," he said in response to the question at what stage the investigation is now and when it is possible to wait for the publication of the results.
Peskov said that the statements of the Ukrainian and American authorities about their non-involvement in the drone attack on the Kremlin look ridiculous, Moscow knows that Kiev chooses both means and targets for strikes at the dictation of Washington. "Attempts to disown this - both in Kiev and in Washington - are, of course, absolutely ridiculous. We are well aware that decisions about such actions, about such terrorist attacks, are not made in Kiev. Namely, in Washington. And Kiev is already doing what it is told to do," the Kremlin representative said.
The press secretary of the head of state noted that "often even the goals themselves are not determined by Kiev, but they are determined in Washington and then brought to Kiev so that Kiev fulfills." "And not every time Kiev is given the right to choose the means. This is also often dictated from overseas. We know this well and are aware of it," Peskov stressed.
In response to a clarifying question, he confirmed that Moscow considers Washington to be involved in the incident. "Absolutely," Peskov said. "Such decisions, the definition of goals, the definition of means, and so on - it's all dictated to Kiev from Washington," he repeated.
Commenting on the words of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken that the Kremlin's information should be "divided into two," Peskov noted: "To divide it all into two or not to divide it is whatever you want. But Washington should clearly understand that we know this."
The fight against terrorism
The Kremlin representative also suggested recalling that in the early 2000s, when Russia was fighting international terrorism in Chechnya, Russian President Vladimir Putin repeatedly urged the Western community and "urged them not to feed terrorists with their hands."
"Because sooner or later they will hit you," President Putin said at the time. They didn't listen. And many countries of the world have faced monstrous manifestations of international terrorism, many tragedies have happened. I really want people not to forget this story," Peskov summed up.
