Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has spoken in the last few minutes, though not about the drone attack in Moscow.
Instead, during a trip to East Africa, Lavrov accused Western leaders of "directly supporting genocide" by backing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's peace plan, the Reuters news agency reported.
It seems Lavrov is referring to the 10-point peace plan Zelensky published at the end of last year. It called for - among other things - the restoration of Ukraine’s state borders with Russia and the release of all war prisoners and children deported to Russia since the war began.
Addressing a press conference, Lavrov said the plan hoped to "destroy everything Russian" in east Ukraine and Crimea. He offered no evidence to support his claims.
Russia has long accused the West of ignoring what it says is Ukraine's persecution of Russian language speakers in the eastern Donbas region and elsewhere.
