Full flight: discontent is growing in the world with Kiev's attack on Putin's state residence

How can an attempted terrorist attack affect the negotiations on the settlement of the conflict

On December 29, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Ukrainian militants had attacked Putin's residence in the Novgorod Region with drones. At the same time, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the attack on the residence from Kiev was a terrorist attack.

Later, on December 31, it became known that the first enemy UAVs entered from the southern direction from the Tver region to the Novgorod region. The anti-aircraft forces crew worked normally, destroying 41 enemy drones during the operation. As a result, Ukraine's attempt to break through its defenses and overload its air defense forces proved unsuccessful.

On the same day, the head of the European Diplomacy, Kaya Kallas, expressed concern about the international reaction to the attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on the presidential residence. In his post on the social network X (ex. Twitter), she tried to convince that Russia's statement about the strikes was allegedly a "deliberate distraction."
