Russia\u2019s Defense Ministry on Wednesday released nighttime video footage it claimed shows the wreckage of a Ukrainian drone intercepted during an attempted attack on a residence used by President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

The video, filmed in a snow-covered, forested area in Russia, shows a Russian serviceman standing over debris that Moscow said belongs to a Ukrainian-made Chaklun-V drone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Russian officials also said the drone was shot down before it could strike Putin\u2019s residence near Lake Valdai<\/a> in the Novgorod region and was carrying a six-kilogram explosive device that failed to detonate.<\/p>\n

The footage was released as Moscow faced mounting skepticism over its account of events.<\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal<\/a> reported Wednesday that U.S. national security officials concluded Ukraine did not target Putin or any of his residences in the alleged drone incident.<\/p>\n

The Journal said the finding was supported by a CIA assessment that determined no attempted attack on Putin occurred, citing a U.S. official briefed on the intelligence.<\/p>\n

Instead, Ukraine, they said, was believed to be targeting a military site it had previously struck in the same region but not near Putin\u2019s residence, the official said.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian officials have continued to reject the allegations, with a military drone expert claiming the video provided little evidence of an attempted strike on one of Russia\u2019s most heavily secured locations.<\/p>\n

“This footage, unfortunately, does not offer proof of anything other than that there is a wrecked drone on the ground somewhere being stood over by a Russian serviceman,” Draganfly<\/a> CEO Cameron Chell told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Chell, whose firm supplies drones to the U.S. Department of Defense and its allies, said the drone shown in the video looked ill-suited for such a mission.<\/p>\n

“The attacks that occurred on Dec. 29 were also hundreds of kilometers away,” he added.<\/p>\n

“The engines on the drone in this new footage are very small, and though capable of multiple hours of flight with the type of fixed-wing drone displayed, it would be extremely slow and unsophisticated.<\/p>\n

“This drone is not untypical of many Ukraine drones, but these would only be used for infrastructure targets and woefully ineffective in an attack on a facility the likes of Putin\u2019s residence,” Chell concluded.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi also dismissed the footage as “laughable,” saying Kyiv was “absolutely confident that no such attack took place,” according to Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Russia alleges the drone was part of a broader Ukrainian operation<\/a> targeting Putin\u2019s residence earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov asserted 91 drones had been intercepted en route to Putin\u2019s residence, a figure that appeared to conflict with earlier Defense Ministry statements.<\/p>\n

The ministry initially reported that 89 drones were shot down across eight regions, including 18 over Novgorod, before revising the numbers upward.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Only after Lavrov\u2019s remarks did the Defense Ministry claim that 49 drones intercepted over Bryansk \u2014 nearly 300 miles from Valdai \u2014 were also targeting the presidential residence.<\/p>\n

The ministry initially reported that 89 drones were shot down across eight regions, including 18 over Novgorod, before revising the numbers upward.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The timing of the allegations has also drawn scrutiny, coming shortly after what Moscow described publicly as a positive meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/a> in Florida.<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy also called the alleged drone attack<\/a> a “complete fabrication,” saying it was designed to justify further Russian strikes and undermine diplomatic efforts.<\/p>\n

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov rejected Ukraine\u2019s denials and said Moscow would toughen its diplomatic stance.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
