On Friday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called Wednesday’s Kremlin drone incident a “hostile act” and promised “concrete actions.”
Russia has accused Ukraine of using drones to assassinate President Vladimir Putin and blamed the US. Ukraine denies that, and the White House calls Russia “lies.”
“It was clearly a hostile act, it is clear that the Kyiv terrorists could not have committed it without the knowledge of their masters,” Lavrov told an Indian press conference.
“We will not respond by talking about ‘casus belli’ or not, we will respond with concrete actions,” he stated.
“Casus belli” is Latin for a war-justifying deed. Russia’s “special military operation” in Ukraine is already 15 months old.
