Russian Ambassador: Russia will respond to Ukraine's attempt to attack the Kremlin when it deems it necessary

Russia will respond to Ukraine's attempt to attack the Kremlin when it deems it necessary, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said.

"How would Americans react if a drone hit the White House, the Capitol or the Pentagon? The answer is obvious to any politician and citizen: the punishment will be severe and inevitable. Russia will respond to this brazen terrorist attack. We will respond when we consider it necessary," the Ambassador said.

According to him, the statements of the US authorities on the mentioned "terrorist act" are cynical and absurd.

"The United States failed to recognize the obvious - it was a terrorist act planned by the Zelensky regime and an assassination attempt against the President of the Russian Federation," said Antonov.

For information, according to the Kremlin, Russia prevented an attempt to kill President Vladimir Putin, which was planned by Ukraine. "On Wednesday night, the Kyiv regime attempted to attack the Kremlin residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin using an unmanned aerial vehicle," the Kremlin said in a statement. According to them, two drones were used for the attack, but the Russian defense forces managed to disable them.
