Ukraine is surprised by the reaction of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan to Russia's invented "attack" on the residence of dictator Vladimir Putin. About said foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhiy Tykhyi.

He emphasized that there is still no empirical evidence to support the allegations and reminded that Ukraine has denied the accusations.

"We believe that the reactions to Russian fakes are not worthy of the aforementioned Central Asian states, with which Ukraine seeks to develop friendly and pragmatic relations based on the principles of mutual respect and mutual benefit. Such reactions also contradict the position of support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, which are being violated by the aggressor state, declared by these states," Tychy noted.

According to him, the concern over a fictitious attack on Putin's palace is particularly surprising in light of the lack of reaction to regular and real Russian attacks on civilians in Ukraine. Tychyi noted that the named countries that claimed "attacks on state facilities" in Russia did not make any public statements on September 7, 2025, when a Russian missile hit the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers building.

"We believe that attempts to play along with Russian propaganda, based on the short-term interests of these countries in relations with Russia now, contradict centuries of history and traditions of Central Asian countries in the struggle for their independence and self-determination," the Foreign Ministry spokesman emphasized.
