Zelensky Emphasizes Continued Collaboration with Trump’s Team Despite Russian Claims

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has emphasized his continued collaboration with President Donald Trump’s team despite Russian allegations of a drone attack on Vladimir Putin’s residence. Trump expressed his anger after Putin informed him about the alleged incident.
Russian authorities claim that Ukraine launched 91 long-range drones toward Putin’s Novgorod region property during overnight hours. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that all aerial vehicles were intercepted and destroyed but characterized the alleged attempt as “state terrorism.”
Trump’s remarks to reporters highlighted his concern about such actions during peace negotiations. He acknowledged Ukraine’s military operations but emphasized that targeting a world leader’s personal residence during sensitive diplomatic efforts crosses a line.
In his social media response, Zelensky stressed that Ukraine remains committed to working with Trump’s team to bring peace closer. He called the alleged residence strike a “complete fabrication” and accused Russia of using dangerous statements to undermine diplomatic achievements.
The controversy threatens recent progress, particularly the positive atmosphere following Trump and Zelensky’s Florida meeting. The Kremlin’s announcement that Russia would reassess negotiations following Trump’s call with Putin demonstrates the immediate diplomatic impact.
