Kyiv says Russia has no proof of drone attack on Putin home 'because there's none'

Russia has given no "plausible evidence" for its claim that Ukraine launched a large-scale drone attack on one of President Vladimir Putin's homes, Ukraine said Tuesday.

"Almost a day passed and Russia still hasn't provided any plausible evidence to its accusations of Ukraine's alleged 'attack on Putin's residence.' And they won't. Because there's none. No such attack happened," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said in a post on X.

The Kremlin said Tuesday it would not provide evidence for the alleged drone attack on one of Putin's residences, as the drones were all shot down and Russia's military typically handles such inquiries.

"I don't think there should be any evidence if such a massive drone attack is being carried out, which, thanks to the well-coordinated work of the air defence system, was shot down," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists in a call.

Peskov also said Russia would "toughen" its negotiating stance in talks on ending the Ukraine war following the alleged attack, which Kyiv denies.
