Russia says it sent U.S. evidence of a Dec. 29, 2025, drone attack on Putin’s home, which Trump now doubts.

Russia claims it provided the U.S. with evidence of a Ukrainian drone attack on President Putin’s residence on December 29, 2025, involving 91 drones intercepted over three regions. Initially confirming the attack, U.S. President Donald Trump later stated he no longer believes it occurred, citing only a nearby incident. Russian officials assert the operation required Western intelligence support, particularly from the CIA, which denies involvement. Russia delivered debris and tracking data to the U.S. on January 2, 2026, to back its claims, while the U.S. has not verified or rejected the evidence.
