Russia will respond with action to the attack of drones, and not argue whether it was a pretext for war, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a briefing.
So he answered the question of whether the drone attack on the Kremlin can be considered casus belli. According to the minister, one should not think about terms here. “It was clearly a hostile act, it is quite clear that without the knowledge of the owners, the Kiev terrorists could not have committed it. We will not respond by talking about whether it is casus belli or not but will respond with concrete actions.
We have a lot of patience – there is such a proverb: “Russians take a long time to saddle up but they ride very fast” and so on,” Lavrov said. He stressed that statements from Kiev and Washington that they were not involved in the attack do not mean this can be trusted. According to Lavrov, he drew attention to the words of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who said that the United States would not dictate to Ukraine the methods by which it defends its sovereignty.
“Well, that probably says it all,” the Foreign Minister concluded. According to the press service of the Russian president, on the night of May 3, the Kiev regime tried to strike the presidential residence in the Kremlin with two drones. The devices were put out of action with the help of radar warfare systems, no one was injured.
The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under the article “terrorist act”.
