Kremlin on Drone Attack in Moscow Region: Investigation Underway

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Earlier in the day, the Russian Defense Ministry said that Kiev tried to carry out a terrorist attack on objects in the Moscow Region, adding that all UAVs were suppressed by means of electronic warfare.

Electronic warfare means coped with their task in the Moscow Region, and an investigation into a drone attack is currently underway, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.

"Indeed, yes, there was a [drone] attack. The means to combat drones [electronic warfare] did their job, now the relevant authorities are investigating," Peskov told reporters.

Russia has been maintaining a dialogue with Brazil on the settlement of the Ukraine conflict, but so far no achievements have been made with regard to the issue, Dmitry Peskov said.

"Indeed, there is a dialogue, [the dialogue] is being maintained with Brazil. But, again, there are no specific developments or prerequisites for the successful implementation of such plans, unfortunately," Peskov told reporters.

He added that preparations for the upcoming BRICS summit were on the agenda of the recent talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, and discussions continue.

"Preparations for the upcoming summit were on the agenda [of the Putin-Ramaphosa talks]. Discussions continue," Peskov told reporters.
