“I do not think that any evidence is needed here. If a mass drone raid was carried out and they were shot down thanks to the clear operation of air defense”, - Peskov told russian journalists.
He explained that regarding the issue of drone debris that was allegedly shot down near putin’s residence and was not shown to the public, he advised addressing the russian military. “As for the debris, I cannot say anything here, this is a matter for our military”, - Peskov traditionally evaded the answer.
“We see that Zelensky himself is trying to deny this, and many Western media, playing along with the Kyiv regime, are starting to hype the topic that this did not happen. These are insane statements”, - he claimed without evidence.
As reported earlier, the russian Ministry of Defense initially did not mention any attack by Ukrainian UAVs on the residence of the russian dictator in the Nizhny Novgorod oblast. Reports on the number of “attacking” drones kept changing throughout the day until they were adjusted to match the figure named by russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
