The Kremlin refuses to reveal where Putin was during the attack on his residence.

According to ТСН: One should not take the Russian Federation's statements about an alleged attack by Ukrainian drones on Vladimir Putin's residence in the Novgorod region seriously.

This opinion was expressed by EU foreign and security policy chief Kaja Kallas on the social network X.

“Russia's statement that Ukraine recently conducted attacks on key government facilities in Russia is a deliberate distraction. Moscow is trying to sabotage the actual progress toward peace that Ukraine and its Western partners are achieving,” she emphasized.

Kallas also described the Kremlin's accusations as “unfounded.” In her opinion, one should not take the words of the aggressor, “who has been arbitrarily attacking Ukraine's infrastructure and the civilian population since the beginning of the war,” seriously.

The magazine Le Monde, citing a source close to French President Emmanuel Macron, reports that Putin has no evidence that the “attack” by Ukrainian drones on his residence actually took place. The unnamed source emphasizes that the Kremlin's position contradicts itself regarding what actually happened.

Furthermore, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to say where 'Leader' Putin was during the 'attack' on the residence, stating that “this topic is not suitable for public discussion.”

Thus, the situation with Russia's allegations only heightens tensions in the already complicated relationships between Kyiv and Moscow. At a time when the international community is trying to maintain dialogue, such statements seem like an attempt to distract from their own problems and maintain control over the domestic political situation in the country. It is clear that moments of escalated rhetoric always serve as a signal for new fact-checks and assessments by global leaders.
