Quote: "We are aware of those reports, but we are unable to confirm their authenticity at this time. So I don't want to get into speculation about what happened," she said.

The spokeswoman stressed that since the beginning of the war, the United States did not encourage Ukraine to resort to attacks outside its borders.

At the same time, she stressed that Russia "has a history" of conducting operations under a false flag.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in the context of the attack on the Kremlin that he would perceive everything that comes out of the Kremlin "with a very large shaker of salt."

Earlier media reported that the United States was gathering facts of an alleged drone attack by Ukraine on the Kremlin
