The UN cannot confirm the statements of Moscow and Kiev on the incident with drones over the Kremlin, but calls on the parties to refrain from any rhetoric and actions that could lead to a further escalation of the conflict, Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for the UN Secretary General, told RIA Novosti.

"We have read the reports and are aware of the statements made by the Russian and Ukrainian authorities in this regard. The UN cannot confirm these reports. We strongly reiterate our call to all concerned parties to refrain from any rhetoric or actions that could lead to further escalation of the conflict" Haq said.
