On Monday, December 29, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters in Florida that he was "very angry" after Russian President Vladimir Putin informed him of a Ukrainian drone attack on Putin's state residence in Russia's Novgorod region.
Trump made the remarks while speaking ahead of a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as global efforts continue to seek an end to the conflict in Ukraine. "You're saying maybe the attack didn't take place. It's possible, too, I guess. But President Putin told me this morning it did," he said, emphasizing his frustration over the alleged incident. 🚁
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy swiftly denied the accusation, calling it "another lie from the Russian Federation." The back-and-forth highlights the tense information battle at play alongside diplomatic talks to restore stability in the region.
As leaders navigate these high-stakes discussions, the world watches closely for any breakthroughs that could bring an end to months of conflict. 🌍
