Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump that Russia will reassess its position in peace talks after what Moscow calls a Ukrainian drone attack on a presidential residence, a claim Kyiv rejects as fabrication.
Russian President Vladimir Putin informed U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday that Moscow would review its position in ongoing peace negotiations following what Russia says was a Ukrainian drone attack on one of his official residences. The Kremlin said Putin updated Trump after being briefed by the U.S. side on the latest diplomatic tracks.
Moscow claims Ukraine launched 91 long-range drones at the Russian presidential residence in northern Russia, saying all were intercepted by air defences without causing casualties or damage. Russia has called the alleged strike "reckless" and "state terrorism", warning that retaliatory actions are being considered.
Ukraine has strongly denied the accusation. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the narrative was a lie aimed at undermining the peace process and potentially laying information ground for future Russian strikes on Kyiv. Ukrainian officials say the claim serves as leverage in negotiations rather than a reflection of battlefield reality.
Kremlin foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov said Putin and Trump held a call on Monday during which Trump, joined by senior advisers, discussed the status of peace talks. Ushakov said Putin conveyed that the alleged drone incident would factor into Russia’s negotiating posture, although Moscow insists it is not withdrawing from talks.
The Kremlin has not confirmed whether Putin was present at the residence during the reported attack. Ukraine has issued no operational comment beyond dismissing the claim, and independent verification remains unavailable.
