An aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denied that Kyiv was involved in the incident, which Putin called a “terrorist attack.”
RIGA, Latvia — The Kremlin on Thursday blamed Ukraine for an attack in two villages in the Bryansk region of western Russia, in which President Vladimir Putin said assailants had “opened fire on civilians” and the Bryansk governor said two people were killed and hostages were taken. Details of the incident were extremely sketchy, and, in an age of ubiquitous cellphone videos, no footage or photos of an attack were circulating on social media, even hours afterward.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin was receiving constant updates, and shortly after, the president appeared at a public event via videoconference and said: “They opened fire on civilians. They saw that it was a civilian car and that children were sitting there. These are the kind of people who set out to deprive us of historical memory, history, traditions and language. But they won’t succeed. We will finish them off.
Putin called an emergency meeting of the Russian Security Council on Friday in response to the attack, Peskov said. Throughout Thursday, Russian state media outlets carried an assortment of murky reports of the incident.The Tass news agency, quoting an unnamed law enforcement official, reported that clashes had broken out between Russia’s and several dozen Ukrainian fighters.
