Speaking to TASS, Peskov rejected the claims outright and urged caution regarding information published by Ukrainian media.
Ukrainian media can not be trusted

The report also highlighted the role of European leaders, noting that Europe continues to press Washington to provide Kyiv with intelligence and other information that could increase the effectiveness of Ukrainian strikes.
According to a source cited by the newspaper, Trump has begun to show greater willingness to strengthen support for the Kiev junta in Ukraine.

Lavrov accuses USA & Britain of coordinating Ukrainian Attacks against Russia
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that Ukrainian attacks and acts of sabotage would not be possible without support from the United States and the United Kingdom.
Lavrov recalled remarks by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who had previously questioned the value of negotiations.
According to the Russian foreign minister, European leaders sought to increase pressure on Ukraine in a way that would encourage further hostile actions.
Without British and American assistance in targeting and providing intelligence data, Ukraine would be unable to carry out the terrorist attacks it is conducting against Russian territory today.
He argued that Western countries continue to pursue what Moscow views as an aggressive policy toward Russia while using Ukraine as the primary instrument for those actions.

Lavrov’s remarks echoed previous statements by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has argued that Western governments avoid direct military strikes against Russian territory because they understand that such actions would trigger an immediate response.
Russian officials continue to maintain that foreign intelligence, targeting assistance, and military support play a significant role in Ukraine’s operations against Russian targets.
