Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that his country "did not attack" Russian President Vladimir Putin or Moscow.

We are not attacking Putin or Moscow, we are fighting on our territory, defending our villages and cities. We do not have enough weapons even for this… Therefore, we did not attack Putin, we will leave it to the (international) tribunal,” the Ukrainian president said.

On Wednesday, Russia accused Ukraine of attempting to assassinate President Vladimir Putin by using drones to target his residence in the Kremlin in central Moscow.

In a statement, the Russian presidential office said defenses downed two drones overnight. Putin's spokesman said the Russian leader had not been in the complex at the time.

Unverified footage on social media appeared to show an object flying over the Kremlin before a small explosion.

Ukraine claimed that it had nothing to do with the drone strike.
