The Russian government claims Ukraine targeted President Vladimir Putin’s residence in Novgorod this week with 91 drones, all of which were reportedly shot down without damage or injuries.

U.S. intelligence, however, has found no evidence that Ukraine aimed at Putin, and Kyiv denies the allegation, suggesting Russia may be using the story to disrupt peace talks.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe reportedly informed former President Trump that the claims were unsubstantiated, though Trump initially reacted with anger.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry cited data from a captured Ukrainian drone indicating the president’s residence was the target, but offered no further details, News Nation has reported.

The incident comes as Ukrainian President Zelensky seeks U.S. backing for a 20-point peace plan amid the ongoing conflict that began in February 2022.
