U.S. denies claims it was behind drone attack over Kremlin

Published

The accusation came from Putin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov

Russia claims that the United States was behind what it says was a drone attack on the Kremlin that aimed to kill President Vladimir Putin.

That accusation came from Putin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov on Thursday who said, without providing any evidence, that Ukraine had carried out the alleged drone strike acting on orders from Washington.

White House national security spokesperson John Kirby called that claim “ludicrous.”

“The United States has nothing to do with it. We don’t even know exactly what happened here, but I can assure you the United States had no role in it whatsoever,” Kirby said.

Footage from Wednesday shows what appears to be a flying object nearing the domed roof of the Kremlin before exploding.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv did not target Putin and denied involvement.

But Wednesday’s alleged strike isn’t the first time suspected Ukrainian drones have hit targets deep inside Russia.

“It’s technically possible,” Samuel Bendett from the Centre for a New American Security said.

“If it was, in fact, a Ukrainian drone that was able to penetrate all the way into the Kremlin speaks volumes about the strengths and the gaps and the problems within the air defence and electronic warfare defences if, in fact, they failed to stop this drone.”

Next week, Moscow is set to hold a massive Victory Day parade, a Soviet-era military display commemorating the defeat of Nazi Germany.

Were Ukraine able to hit the Kremlin in the run-up, it could send a powerful message.

“It’s interesting that the Ukrainians have probably been trying to do this for many, many months at this point – to strike out at a critical strategic target, not from a military standpoint. This isn’t going to win the war, but from a messaging standpoint that Russia can’t just go on attacking Ukrainian cities and not suffer some sort of blowback or some sort of consequence,” Alexander Vindman from Johns Hopkins University said.

Before dawn on Thursday, Russia fired two dozen combat drones at Ukraine. Kyiv’s air defences claimed to have shot down 18 of 24 drones fired at the capital.

There were no reports of any casualties.

U.S. Federal Reserve revises economic forecasts downward, expecting growth slowdown and higher unemployment, but still plans rate cuts in 2024 and 2025.


At its latest meeting, the U.S. Federal Reserve revised its economic forecasts downward, with growth trimmed, inflation nudged up, and unemployment expectations now higher.

Despite this gloomier outlook, the Fed still sees two rate cuts in 2025, but just one in 2024 and one in 2026, a major dial-back from earlier projections.
