Donald Trump Comments on Reported Drone Strikes on Putin's Residence Amid Regional Tensions
A reported Ukrainian drone strike targeted Vladimir Putin's residence in Russia's Novgorod region, though Kyiv denies the attack. Moscow stated that 91 drones were shot down by Russian air defenses during this incident. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed that Kyiv launched the attack; however, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed these claims as lies.
Former US President Donald Trump reacted to the incident, describing it as "not good" and expressing that he was "very angry," calling it an inappropriate time to attack Putin's house. Trump also noted he had a second phone call with Putin, which he described as "very good," and mentioned learning about these reports directly from Putin himself.
In related comments, Trump stated that the United States hit a dock area in Venezuela linked to drug shipments, though details and possible CIA involvement were not confirmed. He also issued a warning to Iran over rebuilding its ballistic missile program, asserting that the US will "knock them down" if they rearm.
Regarding the Gaza-Israel conflict, Trump highlighted Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's request for US support. He noted that a second phase of a truce requires Hamas to disarm, with more than 400 people killed in Gaza and one hostage's body yet to be returned.
