"On Monday, Putin claimed that Ukraine had targeted his residence in the Novgorod region of Russia with drones a claim that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy vehemently denied. This alleged residence strike' story is a complete fabrication intended to justify additional attacks against Ukraine, including Kyiv, as well as Russia's own refusal to take necessary steps to end the war, wrote Zelensky on his social media accounts. Typical Russian lies."
"Numerous other journalists and Ukrainian officials pointed out the lack of evidence to support Russia's claims. Almost a day passed and Russia still hasn't provided any plausible evidence to its accusations of Ukraine's alleged attack on Putin's residence. And they won't. Because there's none. No such attack happened. We were disappointed and concerned to see the statements by Emirati, Andrii Sybiha (@andrii_sybiha) December 30, 2025"
"The circumstances of this alleged strike targeting Putin's residence in Novgorod do not conform to the pattern of observed evidence when Ukrainian forces conduct strikes into Russia, and the Kremlin has offered no evidence to support its claim that Ukrainian forces targeted https://t.co/srrRxpDwur pic.twitter.com/eFkmSYG8iL Institute for the Study of War (@TheStudyofWar) December 30, 2025"
Russian authorities claimed that Ukrainian forces targeted President Vladimir Putin's residence in the Novgorod (Valdai) region with drones. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denied the claim and called the story a fabrication intended to justify additional attacks and Russia's refusal to pursue peace. Journalists, analysts, and officials flagged inconsistencies in Russian Ministry of Defense drone counts and an absence of local reports of air-defense activity. The Institute for the Study of War said the reported circumstances do not match observed patterns of Ukrainian strikes into Russia. No plausible evidence has been produced to substantiate the allegation.
