Zelenskyy Denies Russian Claim That Ukraine Attacked Putin's Residence
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has denied a report by Reuters claiming that Kyiv attacked Russian President Vladimir Putin's residence in Novgorod, northern Russia. Zelenskyy called the allegation a fabrication and a Russian lie intended to justify further attacks on Ukraine and to hinder diplomacy.
The claim originated from statements by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, with Moscow asserting that Ukraine attempted to strike Putin's home and promising retaliation. Zelenskyy countered by emphasizing that Ukraine does not undermine diplomacy and noted that Russia has previously targeted locations in Kyiv, including the Cabinet of Ministers building.
The Fox News Digital article published December 29, 2025, attributes the claim to Reuters but does not provide independent corroboration within the piece.
