Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Glushko said in Moscow on the 29th that Ukraine's drone attack on the Russian presidential palace was a dangerous attempt to disrupt the negotiation process and hinder the achievement of peace, and Russia will respond appropriately. According to a report by Russia's TASS news agency, Glushko told media reporters on the same day that once negotiations on the Ukraine issue enter the stage of seeking a solution, Ukraine will take provocative measures to prevent conditions for a peaceful resolution of the issue. He said that the method of such measures is extremely extreme. It is clearly intended to disrupt the negotiation process, and usually acts with Western “supervisors”. “You can first see the British style” in this attack. On the 29th, the website of the Russian government agency newspaper “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” quoted military history expert Yuri Knutov as reporting that this drone attack was a carefully prepared provocation. “If we want more than 90 attack drones to participate in the attack, we need to first enter the route into their flight procedures, then arrange for them to bypass Russian air defense equipment and go straight to the target. This is not something that can be done in the morning or evening.” Knutov said that this kind of provocation was planned in advance and appears to have received the cooperation of European countries; without European consent, Ukraine would not take a major political risk to make such a decision. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said on the 29th that from late on the night of the 28th to the 29th, Ukraine used 91 long-range attack drones to attack Russian President Vladimir Putin's official residence in north-western Russia's Novgorod region, and Russia will fight back. Ukrainian President Zelensky called the Russian statement “pure fabrication.”
