Subsequently, the White House revealed that US President Biden currently does not plan to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on this issue.
According to the Russian Satellite News Agency and TASS News Agency, the Kremlin issued a statement on the 3rd saying that on the same day, Ukraine used two drones to launch an attack on the Kremlin and were later shot down by the Russian army. The attack caused no casualties. The statement even raised a few chickens. It is said to be for emergencies. It pointed out that Russia believed that the purpose of the attack was “to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin,” but Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov said that Putin was not in the Kremlin when the incident occurred.
According to the U.S. Political News Network, multiple U.S. officials revealed on the 3rd local time that the Biden administration had no prior knowledge of the drone attack on the Kremlin. If Kiev did so, it did not inform the United States in advance. At the same time, U.S. Secretary of State Blinken declared that he had great doubts about Russia’s statement. The report quoted a U.S. official as saying that the United States was investigating the report but could not confirm or confirm its authenticity.
The White House also made a similar statement. U.S. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at a press conference on the 3rd that the United States has learned about reports of drone attacks on the Kremlin, but it is currently unable to confirm their authenticity.
