Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday that Ukraine had tried to attack Vladimir Putin’s residence in northern Russia and so Moscow’s negotiating position would be reviewed, but Ukraine said it was a lie.
Russia said Ukraine attacked the presidential residence in the Novgorod region overnight with 91 long-range drones, which were all destroyed by Russian air defences. No one was injured and there was no damage, Lavrov said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the accusation was a lie, adding that Moscow was preparing the ground to strike government buildings in Kyiv. He said the Russian claim was an attempt to undermine peace talks.
You know how to know Russia is lying‽
Putin trump and Netanyahu need to die and make the world a better place
Add all our “leader” which are professional politicians to the lot.
‘Putin Told Me’ – Trump’s Trust Test as Russia Revives Familiar Playbook – (Web archive link)
… Trump was taking questions at the doorstep of his Mar-a-Lago residence on Tuesday … when he offered a striking explanation for why he was “furious” over an alleged Ukrainian attack on Russian soil: Russian President Vladimir Putin had told him about it himself.
“You know who told me about it?” the president said, recounting claims that Ukraine had tried to strike one of Putin’s residences in northern Russia. “President Putin told me about it” … Trump said he was “very angry” about the alleged attack, calling it an unacceptable escalation – even while conceding that the incident might not have happened at all.
“It’s possible too, I guess,” Trump said. “But President Putin told me this morning it did.”
For critics in Washington and Europe, the episode sharpened a long-simmering concern: Trump’s apparent readiness to accept Putin’s word at face value, even as Kyiv denied the claim and US intelligence agencies had not publicly confirmed it …

“Trump’s Trust Test.”
Anyone who trusts Trump is a fool. So it’s more a fool test than a trust test.

Putin is targeting civilians.
Only fair that Ukraine targets Putin.
So what if they did attack Putin’s house? They are at war, after all
I don’t think anyone would care if they did
That’s not true. It would be a nice end of the year thing.
3 cheers for Ukraine if they’re sending bombs at pooty poot. Fuck Russia.
Hell, even just his $1,400,000,000 house would be a great target. Hit him in the retirement, old white dudes in suits hate that.
It’s just a (not so thinly veiled) attempt to change their position at the bargaining table. If Ukraine can hit specific points and minimize civilian casualties (something that Russia doesn’t seem to care about), they should.
Trump might throw a hissy fit
Maybe that’ll trigger a massive stroke that’d do the whole world a favor.
I would celebrate that, actually.
Now do it for real, they already said you’ve done it anyway.
And? You wanted war? Well here you go fuck boy, don’t be crying all over the place complaining after just attacking them on Saturday.
Pooosssssssssssyyyyy
There have been stories of assassination attempts on Zelenskyy since the start. There’s no way he would have survived had the three day target been met.
the three day target been met.
This was never a thing. This three days nonsense was disproven by military documents ages ago.
Lukashenko claimed it would only take 3-4 days to take over Ukraine.
Ok, I am already aware. Lukashenko is not an official of Russia.
Military documentation shows that daily call signs were established for a two-week stretch from February 20 (when amphibious landing ships left port) to March 6.
March 6 being either the end of combat operations or the end of a two-week planning cycle.
Sure, he’s not an official, but he a good friend of Putin and surely he got that information from somewhere. And I don’t think most people care if Putin was actually the one to claim it would take 3 days. It’s not that important in the grand scheme of things.
But I appreciate that you try to be factual. It’s more than you can say about the Russian Government who lied and called the invasion of Ukraine a “special military operation” and as far as I know they still won’t admit that it’s an invasion.
But I appreciate that you try to be factual.
That would involve actually presenting some facts, rather than a tendentious inference.
daily call signs were established for a two-week stretch from February 20
And that’s evidence of nothing but that military planning always includes contingency.
Referring to that as a dismissal is some .ml level mental gymnastics.
Documentation is better evidence than the words of an American general.

I’m sure the foot soldiers went by the book because having your head stuck up your ass doesn’t make a great winning strategy, something they soon discovered after trying to march directly into Kiev failed dramatically. That documentation does nothing to prove anything except that training does as training trains. The folly that killed Prigozhin for the benefit of the yes men in the army is alive and well in Russia.
Lukashenko is not a Russian official.

This is from 2014, if you actually read it.
The 2014 invasion plans called for three weeks. This makes sense, Putin is not the one that creates the plans.

Media pundits will always exaggerate as it is literally their job, it does not prove anything.
Yet, you make them look like the better reference in comparison.
“you’re lying, but thanks for the idea” - Kyiv
And…as always, trump simps for Putin. Amazing.
Playing the victim while punching the other guy in the groin. Fucking russian losers.
Why would they not attack his residence?
It doesn’t burn as well as oil refineries, has only symbolic value and is likely 10 x better protected than an average strategic industrial site.
However, sending one or two drones irregularly - with no hope of arrival, just to keep the air defense launchers stationed there - that would make sense.
That might be quite the hit for his image though. “Dude can’t even protect his own house why is he in charge again?”
Kyiv should make it clear that they want Putin in charge because he fucks up the Russian war effort so consistently.
Cry some more, Putler.
“Yeah, there was an attack, but it goes to another high school, you wouldn’t know it.”
