The spokesman for the White House National Security Council, John Kirby, has stressed that the United States “It has nothing to do with it” with Wednesday’s alleged drone attack on the Kremlin and has rejected Russia’s allegations of Washington’s alleged role in what Moscow describes as an assassination attempt on Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“I can guarantee that the United States he was not involved. We have nothing to do with that,” Kirby said during an interview with the US television channel MSNBC. He also stressed that the Kremlin spokesman, Dimitri Peskov, “is lying” when he says that Washington is behind the event.

Peskov has branded early in the day Ukraine’s statements “ridiculous” disassociating himself from the attack, while indicating that the order would have been given by the United States authorities. “These decisions, the definition of objectives and means, everything is dictated to kyiv from Washington. We are well aware of this,” he said.

However, Kirby has stressed that the US authorities “do not dictate (to Ukraine) the ways in which they defend themselves or the operations they carry out.” “We have been clear, publicly and privately, that we do not encourage or facilitate them to hit outside of Ukraine,” she has pointed out, while she has noted that Washington “still doesn’t know what happened” in the Kremlin incident.
