there was no attack by Ukrainian drones on the residence of the Russian president

The CIA report thus denies Russia’s accusations against kyiv which the Russian president himself conveyed to his American counterpart in a phone call last Monday.

Trump has not officially confirmed that he is aware of the intelligence service’s findings. However, this Wednesday he shared a link to an editorial from the tabloid on his Truth Social account. The New York Post what pointed out Putin as the main culprit that a peace agreement has not yet been signed and questioned the veracity of the attack.

CIA sources cited by The Wall Street Journal they advanced that Ukraine sought to hit a military target which had already attacked previously and which is located in Novgorod, where Putin’s country residence supposedly attacked is located and which is not in the vicinity of the facility.

Last Monday, Trump claimed that Putin had told him about the alleged attack on his residence by phone. The Republican president He said he was very angry. for this alleged Ukrainian action, although he acknowledged at the same time that there was a “possibility” that the operation had not occurred as the Russian autocrat told him.

Russia used the alleged direct attack against Putin to threaten to toughen their stance in negotiations to end the war. However, Moscow has not presented any compelling evidence to support its version. In the New Year, the Russian Foreign Ministry has also denounced an alleged bombing with Ukrainian aircraft against a hotel and a cafe in occupied Kherson that would have killed 24 people, including a child.

In a post on social networks, the Ukrainian president, Volodímir Zelenskicalled the claim “a complete fabrication intended to justify new attacks on Ukraine, including kyiv, as well as Russia’s own refusal to take the necessary steps to end the war.”

In a detailed report that Ukraine distributed to delegations of its European allies on Tuesday, kyiv alleged that Russian accusations sought to sabotage the agreements reached during the meeting last Sunday between Trump and Zelensky at Mar-a-Lago, in Florida, according to the agency Reuters.

After this meeting, both leaders were optimistic about the course of the negotiations, although it seems that little progress was made in the two points of greatest friction to sign peace: security guarantees for Ukraine against a hypothetical Russian aggression in the future and Moscow’s demands that kyiv give up important areas of territory in the Donbas.
