The fastest way for Kiev to kill a peace deal.
And so we’ve come to the point where the Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations, as troubled as the process has been, seem to have arrived at the point where it might actually produce the expected results.
So, nothing was more expected than some unhinged action by Volodymyr Zelensky and his regime, who decided to unleash a massive strike on one of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s residences in the Novgorod region.
Lately, Zelensky has shown his real face with absurd statements, as you can read in DARK CHRISTMAS: Unhinged Zelensky Hints He’s Waiting for Trump To Pass Away For Ukraine To Join NATO, Says His Holliday Wish Is for Putin To Die (VIDEOS).
So, finally, his actions match his rhetoric.
Sputnik reported:
“All drones (there were 91 of them) that attacked the Russian presidential residence in the Novgorod region were destroyed by Russian air defense systems.”
The Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has stated that ‘such reckless actions will not go unanswered’.
“Targets for retaliatory strikes and the timing of their execution by the Russian Armed Forces have been determined. Russia’s negotiating position will be revised given Ukraine’s shift to a policy of state terrorism.”
Lavrov: On the night of December 28-29 the Kiev regime launched a terrorist attack on President Putin’s residence in Novgorod with 91 long-range UAVs.

Russia’s top presidential aide Yuri Ushakov stated that, during today’s call between Donald J. Trump and Putin, the US president said he was ‘shocked and outraged’ by Ukraine’s attempt.
Russian side argued that the US should understand Russia’s intentions to reconsider its negotiating positions following attempted attack on Putin’s state residence.
“Trump said in a conversation with Putin that he could not even have imagined ‘such insane actions’ as a drone attack on the Russian president’s state residence. The attempt to attack Putin’s presidential residence will affect the US approach in working with Zelensky, Trump added.
Trump told Putin that, ‘Thank God’, Zelensky was not given ‘Tomahawks’.”

UPDATE:
Ukraine is fiercely denying having attacked Putin’s house.
‘Another LIE from the Russian Federation’
Zelensky says there was no attack on Putin’s residence, and Russia ‘preparing the ground’ for strikes on Kiev
