Ukraine denies drone attack on Putin's residence
BBC ^ | Dec 29, 2025 | Amy Walker

President Volodymyr Zelensky has denied allegations by Russia that Ukraine launched a drone attack on one of President Vladimir Putin's residences, and accused Moscow of trying to derail peace talks.

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed Kyiv had launched an attack overnight using 91 long-range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on Putin's state residence in Russia's northwestern Novgorod region.

Russia said it would now review its position in peace negotiations. It is not yet clear where Putin was at the time of the alleged attack.

Zelensky dismissed the claim as "typical Russian lies", intended to give the Kremlin an excuse to continue attacks on Ukraine.

He said that Russia had previously targeted government buildings in Kyiv.

Zelensky added on X: "It is critical that the world doesn't stay silent now. We cannot allow Russia to undermine the work on achieving a lasting peace."

New men at the top in both countries might be a good thing.

“Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed Kyiv had launched an attack overnight using 91 long-range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on Putin’s state residence in Russia’s northwestern Novgorod region.” I wonder there those UAVs came from?

--- "Zelensky dismissed the claim as 'typical Russian lies', intended to give the Kremlin an excuse to continue attacks on Ukraine."

Amusing, no matter for which "side" one cheers, or if one cheers for neither. If a drone had hit, it would have been the other way around.

It's a war between two non-NATO nations, which Secretary of State Rubio has stated openly is a "proxy war." And it continues. Excuses for all sides are to be expected, as are lies and deceptions.

The real question is, are there any drone attacks these days that AREN’T perpetrated by the Ukraine government?

Including false flag attacks against their own country?

“Are you insane?”

Your question is answerable by reviewing my posts and checking to see if the language is well organized.

That is an insane idea. Kremlin does not deny attacking Ukraine and the drones and missiles are tracked by the US, showing their origins.

Russia has carried out one of the biggest attacks on Kyiv in months, using an estimated 500 drones and 40 missiles, including powerful Kinzhal missiles, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. December 27, 2025

The corrupt little prick Zelensky, denied that Ukrainians had blown up the pipeline too. He lied.
Every EU country that is pro-Zelensky, is totally under Obama’s control.
Only Orban, Meloni and a few others are not under the shadow demon’s foot.
Zelensky hates Trump.
So does Obama.
They would love to drone attack Trump and the demoncrats have probably already made up a plan about who is to blame.
