Who Actually Attacked Putin's Home?

The Russian side accused Ukraine of attacking the area where Vladimir Putin's presidential residence is located in Novgorod with 91 drones, a claim disputed by Kyiv and unsupported by independent evidence. According to Moscow, all drones were shot down without causing damage or injuries. However, initial reports from the Russian Ministry of Defense spoke of 18 drones, while a later update added another 23. This discrepancy raises doubts about the accuracy of Russia's claims. Russia describes the incident as "state terrorism" and threatens retaliation. Ukraine categorically rejected Russia's claims, arguing that Moscow is fabricating a pretext to justify strikes on government buildings in Kyiv and sabotage the peace process. Vladimir Putin spoke with Donald Trump, informing him of the incident and warning of a possible revision of Russia's position. Russia is using the war as a mechanism for the survival of its regime, and creating an artificial crisis may serve this purpose. Moscow seeks to control the framework of the discussion and present itself as a victim.
