Why was the Kremlin attacked? In Russia, it depends who you ask
An apparent drone attack on the Kremlin this week has sparked fears of an escalation in Russia's brutal war in Ukraine. On Wednesday night, two remotely-operated devices flew towards the domed roof of the Kremlin before being shot down by Russian air defences, exploding but harming no one. After the incident, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin declared that flying drones by private citizens was now banned in Moscow. Russia said the United States masterminded the attack, claiming Ukraine carried it out. Washington and Kyiv have denied responsibility, insisting that Ukraine's war efforts are purely defensive.
