Russia released a dramatic video and map visuals claiming Ukrainian drones targeted President Vladimir Putin’s Valdai residence, triggering sharp political fallout in Washington. President Donald Trump initially said he was “very angry” after a phone call with Putin, but U.S. intelligence later cast serious doubt on Moscow’s narrative. CIA Director John Ratcliffe briefed Trump that the agency assessed Ukraine did not target any residence used by Putin, directly contradicting Russian claims. Trump subsequently adopted a more skeptical tone, sharing a New York Post editorial questioning the evidence. France and Ukraine also rejected the allegations, with European officials warning the claim may be aimed at derailing ongoing peace talks.
