all 91 UAVs were intercepted....

Russia will revise its “negotiating position” in the Ukraine talks in light of an attempted drone attack on President Vladimir Putin’s state residence, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has stated.

In a statement on Monday, the diplomat said that on the night of December 28-29, “the Kiev regime launched a terrorist attack, using 91 long-range strike unmanned aerial vehicles on the state residence of the president of the Russian Federation in Novgorod Region.” According to Lavrov, all 91 UAVs were intercepted, with no reports of casualties or material damage on the ground.

Lavrov emphasized that the failed attack on the president’s residence came at a time when Russian and US representatives were engaged in “intensive negotiations.”

The minister noted that while Moscow will not withdraw from the US-mediated talks aimed at settling the Ukraine conflict, “Russia’s negotiating position will be revised” in light of Ukraine’s “reckless actions.”

“Targets for retaliatory strikes and the time for their implementation by the Russian Armed Forces have been determined,” Lavrov concluded.

======================

US President Donald Trump was “shocked” by the Ukrainian attack on the state residence of President Vladimir Putin, stating he did not foresee such “crazy actions,” according to Kremlin foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov.

The presidential advisor made the remarks to Russian media after a call between Putin and Trump on Monday. Shortly before the conversation became known to the public, Moscow said that the Ukrainian military targeted Putin’s state residence in Novgorod Region with more than 90 kamikaze drones.

“The Russian side made it clear that such reckless actions would certainly not go unanswered,” Ushakov stated. “The US president, according to Putin, was shocked by this news and expressed outrage, stating that he could not have imagined such crazy actions on the part of Kiev,” he added.

The Russian leader has reaffirmed Moscow’s readiness to engage with Washington in seeking a “lasting peace” in Ukraine. At the same time, the attack on Putin’s residence and Kiev’s “state terrorism” cannot go unanswered, and Moscow will shift its position on multiple issues, Ushakov said.

“Given the current situation, Russia’s position on a number of previously reached agreements and pending solutions will be reviewed. This was stated very clearly, and the Americans should take this with due understanding,” he stressed.

Ukraine’s leader Vladimir Zelensky, however, has strongly denied the attack on Putin’s state residence. Moscow is only seeking a pretext to jeopardize the “progress” made by the US and Ukraine, and attack the government quarter in Kiev, he claimed.

The attack comes days after a bizarre Christmas address by Zelensky, during which he wished for a certain unnamed person, presumed to be the Russian president, to “perish.” Simultaneously with the death wish, the Ukrainian leader urged everyone to pray for “peace.” Moscow condemned the address, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stating it appeared “uncultured, embittered, and coming from a seemingly unhinged person” whose ability to make “any rational decisions” was debatable.

leave....

Kremlin says Ukrainian troops must leave Russia’s Donbass
The condition is necessary to permanently end the conflict, according to presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov

Ukraine must completely withdraw its armed forces from Russia’s Donbass in order to end the conflict, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

Donbass refers to the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR), former Ukrainian regions that voted to join Russia in the September 2022 referendums after the Ukraine conflict escalated earlier that year.

Peskov was asked to comment on the latest developments in the Ukraine peace process, including US President Donald Trump’s phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin and meeting with Vladimir Zelensky on Sunday.

Kremlin foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov said that during the call, Trump and Putin agreed that a temporary ceasefire proposed by Ukraine and its European backers would only prolong the conflict and risk renewed hostilities. A lasting end to the fighting, he said, “requires a bold, responsible political decision from Kiev” on Donbass.

Asked to clarify that statement at a press briefing, Peskov confirmed the Kremlin’s stance.

”Of course, the [Kiev] regime must withdraw its armed forces from Donbass beyond the administrative boundaries,” he stated.

Asked whether the demand also applies to Kherson and Zaporozhye – two other former Ukrainian regions that voted to join Russia in 2022 – Peskov declined to comment, saying Moscow “won’t publicly disclose any specific provisions” of a potential settlement.

Ukraine and its Western backers insist all four regions were “annexed” by Moscow, and Kiev has refused to recognize them as part of Russia.

Trump hosted Zelensky in Miami on Sunday for another round of talks on a possible peace deal. At a joint press conference afterward, he cited significant progress, saying the Ukraine peace process is nearing a conclusion, while acknowledging that territorial concessions remain among the toughest issues.

MI6?.....

MI6 IN THE DOCK: Moscow Hints British HAND In Alleged Drone Strike On Putin | Times Now World

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2NlgMFRL3U

Russia has accused British intelligence of involvement in an alleged Ukrainian drone attack targeting President Vladimir Putin’s residence near Valdai, claims that London has dismissed as disinformation. The allegations surfaced days after public remarks by Britain’s MI6 chief warning of heightened confrontation with Russia. Moscow says the incident underscores a pattern of covert Western activity aimed at escalating the Ukraine conflict and undermining peace efforts, while no independent verification of the attack has been provided.

91 drones....

Did Ukraine Try to Kill Putin?

by Larry C. Johnson

On the night of 28–29 December 2025, Russia’s Defense Ministry and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed that Ukraine launched 91 long‑range drones at a presidential state residence in Novgorod region, northwest of Moscow. The Defense Ministry and Foreign Minister Lavrov describe the attack as occurring “on the night of December 28–29” and in the “early hours of December 29”, without specifying an exact clock time when the first UAVs appeared. A more detailed Russian‑language summary states that 18 drones aimed at the residence were intercepted before 07:00 Moscow time and another 23 between 07:00 and 09:00, which means that 50 drones had already been dispatched by the Russian air defense system. Russian officials said all 91 drones were shot down by air defenses, with no casualties or damage, and vowed unspecified retaliatory strikes; the attack was presented as a terrorist act that would affect Moscow’s stance in ongoing peace negotiations.

President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected the Novgorod claim as “typical Russian lies,” accusing Moscow of using a fabricated or exaggerated incident to justify new strikes on Ukrainian government targets and to harden its negotiating position. International coverage has so far treated the Novgorod episode cautiously, noting that it is difficult to independently verify either Russia’s claim of a massive attempted strike on Putin’s residence or Ukraine’s assertion that the story is manufactured.

So what happened? Although we do not know the precise time that the first drones entered Russian airspace, if the attempted attack started around 2200 hours Moscow time then that is 1400 hours in West Palm, Florida where Volodymyr Zelensky was starting his meeting with Donald Trump. The meeting of the US and Ukrainian delegations lasted until 1700 hours Florida time, followed by a 30 minute press conference. 1700 hours in Florida is 0100 hours in Moscow. That means the attack on Putin’s residence was underway while Zelensky was supposed to be talking about peace.

The Ukrainian claim that Russia did this in order to “harden its negotiating position” does not pass the smell test because Russia’s position is already hardened. Moscow was not looking for an excuse to hit Ukraine harder… They already are doing so.

Did Zelensky approve the attack? I doubt it. I think this was ordered and executed by Ukrainian intelligence, with assistance from at least the British services, in order to sabotage the talks and damage Zelensky. This was not an actual attack to kill Putin because he has been living in the Kremlin for the last four years in order to reduce his vulnerability to an attack like this. The Ukrainian officials who ordered this were more intent on embarrassing Zelensky than on killing Putin.

I believe this is one more indicator that Zelensky’s days are numbered as his opponents in Ukraine, with encouragement from Western intelligence operatives, appear to be maneuvering to replace him and keep the war going. News broke over the weekend that General Zaluzhny, who has been in London for more than a year as the ostensible Ukrainian ambassador to the UK, is heading back to Kiev at the end of this week. The chess pieces in this iteration of Game of Thrones are moving.

Nima and I discussed the Trump/Zelensky confab before news of the failed attack on the Putin residence in Novgorod. However, Mario Nawfal contacted me later in the day when the news broke and we discussed the implications on his YouTube channel:
