MOSCOW, May 4. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin always remains calm in difficult situations, which was also his reaction to the drone attack on the Kremlin, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday.

"You know that the president always remains calm, composed, maintains clarity in his assessments and commands in difficult, extreme situations. So, nothing new has happened in this regard," he said.

Peskov also stressed that Russia is considering various options to respond to Kiev’s attempted drone attack on the Kremlin. "Naturally, I cannot provide you any details here. In any case the issue may only be about well-thought-out steps that meet the interests of our country," he noted.

On May 3, Kiev attempted to use two drones for a night-time strike on the Kremlin residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the presidential press service said earlier. The military and special services promptly disabled the enemy vehicles. Putin was not harmed and continued to work as usual. The Kremlin said the attack was a pre-planned act of terrorism and an attempt on the life of the head of state, adding that Russia reserves the right to retaliate in a suitable way and when it deems appropriate.
