MOSCOW/KYIV, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Russia accused Ukraine on Monday of trying to attack President Vladimir Putin's residence and vowed retaliation, providing no evidence for a claim Kyiv dismissed as baseless and aimed at derailing arduous peace talks.

The angry exchanges between the warring neighbours on Monday – including a statement by Russia that it was reviewing its stance in negotiations in response to the attack – dealt a new blow to prospects for peace in Ukraine.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Putin had told him about the alleged attack in a phone call on Monday morning, which had angered him. Still, Trump repeated his belief that a peace deal may be near.

"It's one thing to be offensive," Trump told reporters. "It's another thing to attack his house. It's not the right time to do any of that. And I learned about it from President Putin today. I was very angry about it."

There should be intelligence if this happened as long range drones were allegedly used and would have been tracked. Russia also hasn't provided any evidence. As it is no evidence has yet to come out but this was only recent. My GUESS is drones were launched but why? Possibly not a Zelenskyy order which would make sense. Seems this may have happened when Zelenskyy was in with Trump. As for a false flag the question again would be why. Russia needs no false flags as it has the ascendency on the battlefield.

Edit: I've just seen another thread from @connda started earlier. Oops!

I read earlier today that there has been no proof seen so far of any attack on Putin's house.

It's not the first time they have tried to kill him.

All is a fair target in war.
