"They saw that it was a civilian car, that civilians and children were sitting there, and opened fire. It is exactly such people who set themselves the task of depriving us of historical memory. They will achieve nothing, we will put the squeeze on them," BBC reported.
Kiev has strongly denied the Russian claim.
Mykhaylo Podolyak, an advisor to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, tweeted that it was "a classic deliberate provocation".
"RF [Russia] wants to scare its people to justify the attack on another country," he said.
Russia had previously reported some Ukrainian missile and drone strikes on Russian border areas, including the Bryansk region. But there have been no confirmed reports of Ukrainian ground forces infiltrating Russia.
