JAKARTA - President Volodymyr Zelensky must hide for the rest of his life, following the attack on the Ukrainian President Vladimir Putin's residence by a Ukrainian drone, said Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev.
"He is trying to thwart the settlement of the conflict. He wants war. Well, at least now he has to stay in hiding for the rest of his worthless life," he wrote on the X social media platform, as reported by TASS (30/12).
Previously, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters on Monday, December 28-29, Ukraine had launched a terrorist attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin's residence in Novgorod Region, launching 91 drones. However, all drones were destroyed by air defense; there were no reports of casualties or damage, said Foreign Minister Lavrov.
