“Certainly, Ukraine has nothing to do with the attacks of the rallies against the Kremlin,” Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, told reporters.
“These statements by Russia should only be seen as an attempt to prepare the conditions ‘which could be used as a pretext’ for the purpose of launching a full-scale terrorist attack in Ukraine,” Podolyak added.
He believed that a similar attack, if carried out by Kyiv, “would not solve any military problem”, with Moscow continuing to control about twenty percent of Ukrainian territory.
“On the contrary, it will encourage Russia to take more extreme measures against our civilians,” added the presidential adviser.
And he felt that Moscow has “great fear of the start of Ukraine’s attacks on the front line, and is trying to somehow seize the initiative and divert attention”.
Russia announced earlier on Wednesday that it shot down two drones that targeted the presidential palace in an attempt to assassinate President Vladimir Putin.
Ukraine has confirmed for months that it was preparing to launch a counterattack to regain control of the regions occupied by Moscow in the south and east of the country.
Kyiv has announced in recent days that the preparations for this attack were “almost completed”.

Podolyak wrote on his Telegram account: “About the drones over the Kremlin. Everything is predictable… It is clear that Russia is preparing a large-scale terrorist act. Therefore, he first held a large group of suspected saboteurs in Crimea. Then drones appear.” above the Kremlin.
added:
First, Ukraine is waging an exclusively defensive war and does not attack targets on the territory of the Russian Federation. For what? This does not solve any military problem. But it gives the Russian Federation reason to justify its attacks on civilians. Secondly, we observe with interest the increase in incidents and abuses occurring in different parts of the Russian Federation. The appearance of unknown drones at energy facilities or in the territory of the Kremlin can only indicate the secret work of local resistance forces. As you know, drones can be purchased from any military dealer.. because the loss of control of the country by the Putin clan is obvious. But, on the other hand, Russia has constantly talked about its total control of the air. In short, something is happening in the Russian Federation, but certainly without Ukrainian drones over the Kremlin.
