Dmitry Peskov

The press secretary to the Russian leader described the incident as a terrorist 
act directed not only against Putin personally, but also against the efforts of 
U.S. President Donald Trump to bring the conflict to an end. Peskov also called 
statements from the Ukrainian side about the incident “madness.”

Ukraine Will Face Consequences

According to Peskov, Russia will toughen its negotiating position on Ukraine. 
At the same time, he stressed that the Kremlin would not publicly disclose how 
exactly this would be done.

He added that Russia is not withdrawing from the negotiation process on 
settling the conflict, but will conduct discussions primarily with the United 
States, and in particular with President Trump.

The Kremlin spokesman also found it difficult to assess how far Kyiv’s actions 
had set back the process of resolving the Ukrainian crisis.

Commenting on a possible response to the alleged attack, Peskov said that 
Russia’s military knows what needs to be done.

“As for the military consequences, our military knows how, with what, and when 
to respond.”

Peskov Comments on Putin’s Whereabouts

Peskov emphasized that after the attempt to strike the president’s residence, 
the question of Putin’s whereabouts is not subject to public discussion.

At the same time, he noted that the president will address Russians with his 
traditional New Year’s greeting, as usual at midnight.

Kremlin Assesses Kyiv’s Denials

Peskov said that Kyiv’s attempts to justify itself are “madness.”

“We see that [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky himself is trying to deny 
this, and many Western media outlets, playing along with the Kyiv regime, are 
beginning to push the narrative that this (the AFU attack — ed.) supposedly did 
not happen.”

Earlier, the Ukrainian president refused to acknowledge Kyiv’s involvement in 
the alleged attack on Putin’s residence using 91 drones, claiming the 
information was fabricated.

Peskov, in turn, stressed that the attack was so massive that no additional 
evidence of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ involvement was required.

Russia is not withdrawing from the negotiation process to resolve the Ukrainian 
conflict, Peskov reiterated, but will continue talks primarily with the United 
States.

“Russia is not withdrawing from the negotiation process [on Ukraine] and, 
naturally, will continue the negotiation process and dialogue — first and 
foremost with the Americans,” he said.
