U.S. Intelligence Rejects Kremlin Drone Claim

American security officials have dismissed Russia's claim that Ukraine attacked President Vladimir Putin's home. A U.S. assessment, supported by the CIA, concludes Ukraine was not behind the alleged drone incident at Putin's residence in Novgorod. Moscow previously stated that drones targeted the Kremlin leader's official home outside Moscow. It blamed Ukraine for what it called an assassination attempt. The U.S. findings directly contradict this narrative. Officials indicate Ukraine did not target Putin or the Novgorod residence. This dispute highlights the ongoing information war surrounding the conflict. International intelligence agencies frequently challenge Russia's public accounts of battlefield events.
