Russia claimed Thursday that the United States was behind an alleged drone attack on the Kremlin that it said was a Ukrainian attempt to assassinate President Vladimir Putin.

The accusation, made without citing evidence, comes less than 24 hours after Moscow said that it had foiled an overnight drone strike on the building that acts as the heart of the country’s government and Putin’s residence — something Kyiv strongly denied.

But Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov went further Thursday, claiming Washington had masterminded the incident. The U.S. swiftly rejected the accusation, saying it had nothing to do with it.

“We are well aware that decisions on such a level of terrorist attacks are made not in Kyiv, but in Washington,”

Kirby is just like the other greasy slime balls who make up the Biden administration. Every single one that was questioned by congress lied or refused to answer basic questions. Just watching them made me sick. They are a pathetic bunch of spineless jellyfish.

Russian ships are home ported there. You would expect them to be in the area. Russia could have just turned off the tap. They didn’t need to blow their own pipeline

These are specialized Russian ships with underwater capabilities. Russia would have been in breach of their contract if they "just turned off the tap".

Russian 'ghost ships' with underwater capabilities circled Nord Stream explosion site, documentary claims

Russian navy vessels able to perform underwater operations were present near the sabotaged Nord Stream gas pipelines prior to mysterious blasts in September, according to an investigative documentary.

The ships were tracked by a Royal Naval intelligence officer using open source intelligence and intercepted radio communications.

We can all hope quislings like you go in the first wave.

[Karl Spooner]

We all know that the US would act in a peaceful manner if, say illegally occupied Syria, did this to the White House. No hysteria would be taking place in America like what happened with the Chinese weather balloon.

[JonPreston]

We can all hope quislings like you

And there you go, name calling already.

[cld51860]

Yeah, we believe you, Kirby. Just like the Nordstream pipeline.

Uh huh.

I actually don’t believe anything coming out of the District of Corruption or the Kremlin.

[adorno]

That drone attack was staged by Putin.

It’s a phony attack meant to distract his enemies from his real whereabouts. IOW, he wants people to believe that he works at the Kremlin in order to keep any attempts on his life far away from wherever he’s at at any moment.

Putin is NEVER credible, and he knows that there are many working to assassinate him, including his own Kremlin ‘buddies’. He can’t sleep well, and he can’t rest at any one place for long. A wanted criminal is always in fear of being caught or killed.

“We can all hope quislings like you go in the first wave.”

Sorry, not in Kiev.

[canuck_conservative]

If the White House Russia denies it, they not only planned it, but Joe Biden Putin paid for it personally

fixed it for ya

[Fai Mao]

The media lie about everything. Why would they not lie about this?

I think being in breach of the contract is superfluous when Europe is supplying equipment and training to a nation Russia is at war with.

[Obadiah]

Zelenskyy and Ukraine does nothing -nothing- without US involvement, or at minimum, without fore knowledge.

[1Old Pro]

Biden will get us even more entangled in this Ukraine mess.

Trump wins 45 states this time around.

[Fai Mao]

The Russians and Chinese appear to be more honest than the Biden administration.

[canuck_conservative]

there you go, defending the dictatorial monsters

[lodi90]

Biden will get us even more entangled in this Ukraine mess.

Brandon can’t wait to drop the Ukrainian hot potato and get back to partnering with Putin on their mutual Anti American agenda: nuking up Iran, climate change hoax, etc.

[ByteMercenary]

Prolly not but if true I give Putin permission to nuke WDC with only one request ... give all republicans one hour notice.

[blackdog]

Victoria Nuland, and Jake Sullivan, are mischievous little $hits. They need to knock it off.

[tlozo]

I think being in breach of the contract is superfluous when Europe is supplying equipment and training to a nation Russia is at war with.

Penalties for breach of contract would have been astronomical. Doubt there is a provision in the gas contract allowing suspension of gas shipment if Europe arms a country Russia is at war with.

[CodeJockey]

Don’t know who did it but whatever Ukraine does, they are following the command of the Pentagon. Ukraine makes no decisions in this proxy war. The Pentagon does.

[OKSooner]

I believe Vlad before I believe Joe, and I believe Peskov and/or Zakharova before I believe Kirby.
