According to a report, the United States is to assume that a military or special intelligence unit from Ukraine is probably responsible for the drone incident on the Kremlin premises in Moscow. The US intelligence services did not know which unit carried out the attack, the New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed sources in the US government. It is also unclear whether Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy or his top officials were aware of the action.
According to the newspaper’s report, the US secret services reached their preliminary assessment through intercepted messages, among other things. However, there is only a “low” degree of certainty. The main reason for this is that the US intelligence services still have no concrete evidence as to which government officials, Ukrainian units or agents were involved, the newspaper continued. In the intercepted messages, representatives of Ukraine said, among other things, that they believed their country was responsible for the attack.
In early May, Russia announced that two drones that were flying towards the Kremlin compound had crashed. Moscow accused Kiev of an attempted attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin and threatened countermeasures. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov blamed the US for the attack. Kyiv and Washington have denied any involvement in the incident.
