Russia has accused Ukraine of trying to attack President Vladimir Putin’s official residence, raising new fears that hopes for peace in the ongoing war may be fading.
According to Russian authorities, Ukraine attempted to target Putin’s residential complex located in Roshchino, in the Novgorod region. While Russia did not provide detailed evidence, officials claimed the incident was serious and could further escalate the conflict between the two countries.
The Kremlin said the alleged attempt shows that Ukraine is expanding its military actions beyond the battlefield. Russian officials warned that such moves reduce chances of dialogue and increase security risks inside Russia.
Ukraine has not officially confirmed or denied the accusation. In the past, Kyiv has often rejected similar claims, saying Russia uses such allegations for propaganda or to justify continued military operations.
The development comes as the war between Russia and Ukraine continues into another year, with fighting still intense in several regions. Despite international calls for peace talks, both sides remain deeply divided, and military actions continue.
Analysts say the accusation, whether proven or not, is likely to harden Russia’s position and make diplomatic efforts more difficult. It also highlights how the conflict is increasingly affecting areas far from the front lines.
As tensions rise, the international community continues to urge restraint and renewed efforts toward a peaceful solution, even as the situation on the ground remains uncertain.
