Three countries condemn "attack" on Putin's residence. Sibiga points to lack of evidence

Ukraine drew attention to the statements of the Emirati, Indian and Pakistani sides, which expressed their concern over the alleged attack on the residence of the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. This is stated in the statement of minister of Foreign Affairs Andrey Sibiga.

The Foreign Minister noted that almost a day has passed and Russia has not yet provided any credible evidence for its accusations of Ukraine of "attacking Putin's residence."

Sibiga believes that Russia will not provide evidence because there is none, because there was no such attack.

"We have noted with disappointment and concern the statements by the Emirati, Indian and Pakistani sides expressing their concern over an attack that did not take place," Sibiga emphasized.

He added that this is particularly surprising given that all three states made no official statements when a Russian missile hit the Ukrainian government building on September 7, 2025.

"Russia has a long track record of false statements – it's their signature. For example, Russia claimed that it would not attack Ukraine in early 2022. They also often accuse others of what they plan to do. Their words should never be taken at face value," the minister wrote.

He believes that such reactions to Russia's baseless manipulative claims only play into Russian propaganda and encourage Moscow to continue its atrocities and lies.

The head of diplomacy called on all states to act responsibly and refrain from responding to unverified accusations, which undermines the constructive peace process.

Earlier that day, the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi wrote on the social network X in Russian: "Deeply concerned by reports of an attack on the residence of the President of the Russian Federation. Ongoing diplomatic efforts are the most viable path to ending hostilities and achieving peace."

He called on "all stakeholders to remain focused on this path and avoid any actions that could harm the process."

Prime Minister of Pakistan Shahbaz Sharif condemned "attack" on Putin's residence. He called it "a despicable act" that poses "a serious threat to peace, security and stability, especially at a time when efforts are being made to establish peace."

"Pakistan expresses its solidarity with the President of the Russian Federation, as well as with the government and people of Russia. We reiterate our strong rejection of all forms of violence and actions aimed at undermining security and threatening peace," Sharif wrote.

Also, the statement appeared on the website of the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It "condemned the attempt to target the residence" of the Russian dictator. The UAE Foreign Ministry reaffirmed its solidarity with Putin and the "friendly government and people of Russia."

The agency emphasized "It's continued rejection of all forms of violence aimed at destabilizing security and stability."

• On December 29, Lavrov said that Ukrainian drones allegedly tried to attack Putin's residence in Novgorod Oblast. Zelenskyy called his statement and explained why Russia spread this fake.
• On the same day, Trump said that Putin told him about the alleged attack on his residence. The US President said that "this is not good".
