Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoliy Antonov said that the consequence to the act of terrorism of Ukraine in the form of an effort to attack a drone on the Kremlin is apparent to everyone: the punishment will be severe and inevitable.
"How would Americans respond if a drone hit the White House, Capitol or Pentagon? The answer is apparent to all politician and average citizen: the punishment will be severe and inevitable," Antonov said. “Russia will respond to this brazen and conceited terrorist attack. We will respond erstwhile we consider it appropriate. We will answer according to the assessment of the threat that Kiev poses to our country’s leadership. ”
He stressed that the statements of American officials 'hit cynicism and absurdity'. "The United States could not identify the apparent – it was a terrorist action planned by the Zelenski government and an assassination of the president of the Russian Federation. Moreover, the word was not chosen accidentally – before triumph Day and the May 9 parade, where abroad guests are planned," Antonow said.
"The claims that this act of terrorism was allegedly a "operation of the false flag" are blasphemous and lying. Does this mean that Russia itself has provoked against the heart of our statehood?! According to the Russian diplomat, Moscow hoped that the US administration would "have the courage and dignity to condemn this terrorist act".
"The planet remembers how in 2001 the president of Russia was the first to scope out to the American people, who were then subjected to a terrorist attack. It was all forgotten. present the United States protects criminals from Kiev. The message of advanced officials that Kiev can choose a defence is simply a textbook example of double standards, a policy of urging the Zelensk government to attack the Russian Federation. The words of bureaucrats about alleged deterring the Nazi government in Kiev from hitting targets beyond its borders are a false farce," he said. "The cruelty of the Zelensk government and the indulgence of it by the West only prove that our opponents do not want to search peace, save the lives of thousands of average Ukrainians. We will surely take this into account erstwhile developing our strategy, gathering the objectives and tasks of a peculiar military operation," he warned.
On the night of May 3, Ukraine tried to usage 2 drones to attack the Kremlin's residence of Russian president Vladimir Putin, informed the Kremlin press service. The Russian military and peculiar forces immediately neutralized them. Putin was not injured and continued his regular work. The Kremlin said it sees it as a planned terrorist attack and an assassination of the president of Russia. He added that Russia reserves the right to retaliate at the right time and in the manner it considers appropriate.
