Kremlin officials claimed that Ukraine attacked Russian President Vladimir Putin's residence with more than 90 drones, all of which were shot down, during an attack that carried into the early hours of Monday (December 29) morning, the New York Post reports.

The claims were made by Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavov, who claimed that the Kremlin would now review its negotiation position to potentially end its nearly four-year invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denied the alleged attacks as a "complete fabrication" made as a justification for retaliation strikes following his meeting with President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday (December 28).

"Russia is at it again, using dangerous statements to undermine all achievements of our shared diplomatic efforts with President Trump's team," Zelenskyy wrote on his X account. "We keep working together to bring peace closer. This alleged "residence strike" story is a complete fabrication intended to justify additional attacks against Ukraine, including Kyiv, as well as Russia’s own refusal to take necessary steps to end the war. Typical Russian lies. Furthermore, the Russians have already targeted Kyiv in the past, including the Cabinet of Ministers building. Ukraine does not take steps that can undermine diplomacy. To the contrary, Russia always takes such steps. This is one of many differences between us. It is critical that the world doesn’t stay silent now. We cannot allow Russia to undermine the work on achieving a lasting peace."
