Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy denied Russian allegations that his government organized an attack on Vladimir Putin’s residence in the Kremlin by a pair of drones.

“We don’t attack Putin or Moscow. We fight on our territory,” Zelenskiy told a news conference in Helsinki, adding that the Kremlin was probably trying to distract Russians from its failures on the battlefield. The drone claim comes less than a week before President Putin is scheduled to attend the annual Red Square military parade to celebrate the Soviet triumph in World War II.
