Zelensky Rebukes Nations Over Drone Strike Condemnation


(MENAFN) Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has voiced strong disapproval of India, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and several other nations for denouncing an alleged drone strike on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s official residence in the Novgorod Region.

According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Kiev deployed 91 long-range drones against Putin’s residence during the night of December 28–29. However, all unmanned aerial vehicles were intercepted, resulting in no casualties or physical damage. Zelensky has firmly denied that Ukraine carried out the attack.

During an online press briefing, Zelensky remarked, “It is confusing and unpleasant that some countries, like India, the UAE, and a few others, condemned what they claim were our drone strikes on Putin’s residence — which didn’t even happen.”

He further questioned, “Where is their condemnation of the fact that our children are being bombed and people are being killed all this time? I don’t hear India, frankly, nor the United Arab Emirates.”

Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed that he was “deeply concerned by reports of the targeting of the residence of the President of the Russian Federation.”
