Russia shows wreckage of drone that "attacked" Putin's residence. The Center for Public Integrity says it's a fake, photo

A drone allegedly shot down as a result of an "attack" on the residence of the Russian dictator Vladimir Putinrussian propaganda media claim that the "Sorcerer-B" was the case. The Center for Countering Disinformation statedthe Ukrainian government has said that the "drone debris" released by the Russian side cannot be considered evidence of any attack.

Russia said that the warhead of the allegedly downed drone was a six-kilogram high explosive charge, allegedly filled with explosive elements and intended to hit manpower and civilian objects.

It is also claimed that due to a hit to the tail section, the drone remained intact and the warhead did not explode.

The Center for Public Affairs reported that the origin, time and location of the wreckage remain unknown. Despite claims of "91 drones" and a "targeted attack," the Russian side has not provided any convincing evidence. There is no video of air defense in the area of the residence, no recorded crashes of drones in the claimed locations, and no consistency even in their own figures, which have changed repeatedly.

The Center calls it "a typical Kremlin information operation." According to Andriy Kovalenko, the head of the Center, an officer of the Defense Forces, the Russian side began to have "evidence" two days after the statement, after "the initial version did not stand up to criticism."

"The Russians predictably laid out the so-called wreckage of the drone that was 'flying to Putin's residence'. Their traditional lie is that when no one believes the basic version, they put random pieces of debris on the snow and take photos. This is instead of explaining the inconsistencies: the lack of air defense in the area of the residence, the absence of drones there, and the different numbers of these drones that the Russians were confused about," Kovalenko said.

The story of the alleged "attack on Valdai" is an attempt to cover up the pre-planned terror against Ukraine, put pressure on the diplomatic process and create a fake justification for future attacks on Ukrainian cities, the Center added.

• on December 29, Lavrov said that Ukrainian drones allegedly tried to attack Putin's residence in Novgorod Oblast. Zelenskyy called his statement as a lie and explained why Russia spread this fake.
• On the same day, Trump saidsaid that Putin told him about the alleged attack on his residence. The US president said that "this is not good".
• Several countries have condemned the "attack" on the Kremlin leader's residence. According to Sibiga, Russia is still did not provide no credible evidence to support their accusations
