Kremlin blames US for alleged attack - while Zelenskyy speaks in The Hague  

The Kremlin claims that the United States is behind the alleged drone attack on Moscow last night, Reuters reports. The Russians' stance is that Washington is "definitely" behind what they call a "terrorist attack from Kyiv" with President Vladimir Putin as the target. 

- Such decisions are not made in Kyiv, but in Washington, says Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.  

At the same time, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy speaks to the press at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. 

- Putin deserves to be punished for his criminal actions, he says according to Reuters. 

Several international observers believe that it is unlikely that Ukraine is behind the alleged attack on the Kremlin. According to the think tank ISW, it is probably staged by Russia.

ISW: Drone attack likely staged by Russia  

The alleged Ukrainian drone attack on the Kremlin was probably staged by Russia. This is written by the American think tank ISW and states that several factors indicate that the event was planned in advance, including the unusually coordinated and rapid Russian response. 

According to the think tank, the alleged attack could be used to bring the war closer to the Russian population, to create the conditions for an even greater mobilization. ISW further writes that it is "extremely unlikely" that two drones would have made it all the way to the Kremlin without being detected by the air defense. It also denies the likelihood that the drones will be shot down and detonated "right over the heart of the Kremlin in such a way that it led to spectacular images that were captured on camera." 

Other experts have also expressed strong doubts that it would be Ukraine that is behind the drone attack. Ukraine has denied any involvem

White House rejects Russian accusation against US: 'False'

He also says that the US neither encourages nor enables Ukraine to carry out attacks beyond the country's borders.

The drone's message reveals revenge motives: "For the Kremlin"  

"For the Kremlin" and "For Moscow". The messages could be read on drones fired at Ukrainian Odesa last night, according to the Ukrainian military. It is stated that 15 drones were fired at the city last night, of which twelve were shot down. According to the information, the other three met a student dormitory, writes CNN.  

The Ukrainian commanders interpret the messages on the drones as a revenge attack for the alleged assassination attempt on President Vladimir Putin. 

Ukraine has denied any involvement in Wednesday's alleged drone attack on the Kremlin, and international observers say Ukraine is unlikely to be behind it. According to the think tank ISW, it is likely that the whole thing was staged by Russia.
