Nothing to do with us, Ukraine official says after drone explodes over Kremlin in claimed Putin assassination attack
But in a damning indictment of a war that has seen Russia lose tens of thousands of troops, Moscow has had to scale back military parades throughout the country amid fears they could be hit by saboteurs.
"The Russian side reserves the right to take retaliatory measures where and when it sees fit," the Kremlin added.A spokesperson said: "As a result of this terrorist act, the president of the Russian Federation was not injured.Ukraine had not yet officially commented on the attacks and has often remained tight-lipped when Russian bases were struck in the past.
Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser in the presidential office in Ukraine, said: :First of all, Ukraine wages an exclusively defensive war and does not attack targets on the territory of the Russian Federation. What for? This does not solve any military issue."Secondly, we are watching with interest the growing number of mishaps and incidents that are taking place in different parts of RF.
Russia is bracing for a Ukrainian counter attack now it has been equipped with some Western tanks, including a small number of British Challenger 2s.
