An adviser to Ukraine’s president denied that Kiev was directly involved in today’s drone strike against Moscow, but said Ukraine was happy to watch the events and predicted an increase in such attacks.

Russia announced that Ukraine had launched its largest missile to date its drone strike against Moscowbut added that the anti-aircraft defense destroyed all eight of these drones.

“…regarding the attacks: of course we are happy to watch and predict an increase in the number of attacks. But of course we have nothing to do with it,” said Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podoliak speaking on the YouTube channel “Breakfast Show”.

The attack came weeks after the Kremlin was hit by a drone attack that Russia blamed on Ukraine, and coincided with the latest wave of Russian airstrikes against Kiev.

A senior member of the Russian parliament from the United Russia ruling coalition, Alexander Hinstein, said three drones were shot down today over the expensive Moscow suburb of Rublyovka, where President Vladimir Putin has an official residence.

In a posting on the Telegram messaging app, Hinstein said the three drones were shot down over three villages in Rublyovka, one of which is just a 10-minute drive from Putin’s residence in Novo-Ogaryovo.

Russia’s Investigative Committee confirmed that drones were shot down over the Odinchovsky District, which includes Rublyovka.

Rublyovka, a cluster of heavily guarded elite communities in the forests west of Moscow that once included some of the most expensive real estate in the world, is home to much of Russia’s political, business and cultural elite.

In addition to Putin, former President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin are said to have residences in Rublyovka, as are many of Russia’s richest businessmen.

In a statement posted on Telegram, the head of the Wagner mercenary company Yevgeny Prigozhin blamed the drone attacks on the fact that high-ranking military officials live in the suburb.

“Who cares if these drones fly to your houses in Rublyovka! Let your houses burn,” said Prigozhin.
