Zelenskyy denies Russian claim that Ukraine tried to attack Putin's residence

On December 29, 2025, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denied Russia's claim that Ukraine tried to strike Vladimir Putin's Valdai state residence, calling it a fabrication after meeting US President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago amid US-led peace talks.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Ukraine launched 91 long-range drones at the Valdai residence and Russia will "revise its negotiating position" while staying in talks.
Russia's Defense Ministry reported it shot down 89 drones nationwide, including 18 over the Novgorod region, while Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister, unusually announced 91 drones destroyed with no casualties.
The accusation has threatened to derail delicate peace negotiations as Russian officials say targets have been selected and timing determined by the Russian Armed Forces, while Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Moscow may justify strikes "most likely on Kyiv".
Zelenskyy said after Sunday talks with Donald Trump that they reached about 90% agreement on a draft 20-point peace plan, stressing, `Without security guarantees, this war cannot be considered truly over`.
