Why should there be any official denial? Officially, this is just his own opinion, largely shared by a vast number of "patriots".
Is the US ambassador summoned each time Tucker Carlson bleats out yet another deranged editorial?
The Kremlin has denied that Russia was involved in a missile strike on a railway station in Kramatorsk in eastern Ukraine, Reuters reports. Speaking to reporters, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said the Russian armed forces had no missions scheduled for Kramatorsk on Friday. Russia's defence ministry has also denied that Russian forces were responsible for the strike, the Russian state-owned news agency RIA reported. The Russian state-owned organisation quoted the ministry as saying that the missile was of a type used only by the Ukrainian military, and similar to one that hit the centre of the city of Donetsk on 14 March. The Russian government has consistently denied it has attacked civilians since the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Context : the Ukrainian government has urged civilians to leave the Ukraine-controlled parts of the Donbass, to avoid being encircled and murdered by the RF army. The only train line is then bombed by the Russians, resulting in 4000 civilians being concentrated at the Kramatorsk railway station.
Then rockets arrive, killing at least 39.
The Russian denials, I think we have understood by now, are strictly for domestic consumption. (it's possible that there are still some among their apologists in the west who choose to believe them) It is rightly acknowledged that people of faith have no monopoly of virtue - Queen Elizabeth II
