Russia has accused Ukraine of firing drones at the Kremlin in an
attempt to kill President Vladimir Putin, and said the United
States was behind the purported attack. Ukraine has denied that,
and the White House has dismissed Russian "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 a press conference in India.
"We will not respond by talking about 'casus belli' or not, we
will respond with concrete actions," he said.
"Casus belli" is a Latin term for an action that provides
justification for war. Russia's war in Ukraine is now in its
15th month, though Moscow continues to describe it as a "special
military operation".
