The Ukrainian military fired a barrage of 91 kamikaze drones at the Russian presidents state residence
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.
