Kremlin officially intercepts Ukraine’s alliance should have convicted the attack and mooted oft that its real war was with the West.
A day after a drone attack on Moscow, Kremlin officials jumped on the refusal of the Ukrainian alliance to criticize the attack as probation that Russia’s real war was with the West.
The Kremlin’s prolocutor, Dmitri S. Peskov, said Russia “would have preferred to hear at least some words of condemnation” from Western capitals.
“We will calmly and deliberately think how to deal with this,” he said.
While none of Ukraine’s alliance went so far as to ratify the drone attack, Britain’s foreign secretary said on Tuesday that Kyiv had “the right to project force beyond its borders.”
The U.S. statement was more cautious, but it stopped short of criticizing the first military attack to hit a civilian region in the Russian capital since the start of the war. Ukraine officials have said they were not “directly intricated” in the drone attack.
The Russian ambassador in Washington, Anatoly Antonov, called the U.S. denial to condemn the attack “an encouragement for Ukrainian terrorists,” his embassy said on the Telegram messaging app.
Russia has frequently struck civilian regions of Ukraine over the course of the war, though it has denied targeting nonmilitary sites. And in passing weeks it has turned up the barrage of missiles and attack drones aimed at Kyiv, the capital. Thousands of Ukrainian civilians, including children and elders have been killed in Russian airstrikes and artillery bombardments, U.N. officials say.
Russian officials have said that NATO’s decision to send arsenals, which have become growingly advanced as the war has worn on, raises the venture of a direct encounter and a potential nuclear war.
