Russia says Ukrainian drone attack targeted one of PUTIN’s residences, a claim rejected by Kyiv

Tuesday, December 30, 2025 -Russia has claimed that a recent Ukrainian drone strike targeted one of President Vladimir Putin’s residences, describing the attack as a serious security breach. 

Officials reported that the strike was intercepted, and no injuries were reported, but Moscow condemned the incident as an escalation. The claim comes amid heightened tensions and ongoing military activity in Ukraine.

Kyiv has firmly rejected Russia’s statement, calling it “false” and suggesting the claim is part of a broader propaganda effort. Ukrainian officials have not confirmed any operations targeting high-level Russian leadership, maintaining that their focus remains on strategic military objectives rather than attacks on civilian or political leaders.

Analysts warn that such claims, whether accurate or not, heighten the risk of misinformation influencing public perception and international responses. The incident underscores the ongoing volatility in the region, with both sides using information and military actions to assert influence, making careful monitoring of developments essential in the coming days.
