President Volodymyr Zelensky has denied that Ukraine is responsible for the attack on the kremlin by unknown drones and the alleged assassination attempt on russian dictator vladimir putin.

"We are not attacking putin or moscow," Zelensky said during a press conference in Helsinki.

The President of Ukraine noted that Ukraine does not have enough weapons to respond to such incidents.

"We are fighting on our territory, we are defending our villages and cities. We do not have enough weapons for such attacks. That is why we do not use it anywhere else," Zelensky explained. – "For us, this is a deficit, we cannot spend it.

"We did not attack putin. We leave him to the tribunal," he said.
