Russia says it will give U.S. proof of attempted Ukrainian strike on Putin residence
Russia claims the decoded drone data shows a Ukrainian strike on a presidential residence and will share it with the U.S. amid disputes and potential impact on Ukraine war talks.
- On Jan 1, Russia said it extracted and decoded a file from a Ukrainian drone downed earlier this week showing it targeted the Russian Presidential Residence in the Novgorod region.
- On Dec 29, Moscow accused Kyiv of attempting to strike a residence of President Vladimir Putin with 91 long-range attack drones and said it might reassess talks with the U.S.
- Through its Telegram channel, Moscow asserted that `Decryption of routing data revealed that the final target of the Ukrainian drone attack on December 29, 2025, was a facility at the Russian Presidential Residence in the Novgorod region`, and said materials will be transferred to the American side.
- Western sources dispute Moscow's claim, noting The Wall Street Journal reported on Dec 31 that U.S. national security officials found Ukraine did not target Putin, and Reuters could not verify the report.
- U.S. President Donald Trump initially expressed sympathy after President Vladimir Putin told him of the alleged attack, but by Dec 31 he appeared more skeptical, while Ukraine denied the strike as Russian disinformation.
