President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Russia's claims on Dec. 29 that Ukrainian drones attempted to attack a state residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin as "another lie," warning that Moscow is using the allegation to justify potential strikes, most likely targeting Kyiv.

"With this statement about an alleged attack on some residence, they are preparing the ground to strike, most likely the capital and government buildings," Zelensky said while speaking to Ukrainian media on Dec. 29.

Zelensky said the statement was made amid progress in Ukraine's talks with the U.S. on a revised peace agreement framework, calling the timing deliberate.

"It's obvious that yesterday we had a meeting with President Trump, and it's clear that when there is no scandal for the Russians, when there is progress, it is a failure for them. They do not want to end this war and are only capable of doing so under pressure. So they are looking for a pretext," Zelensky added.
