Trump Flips, Has More Info: Ukraine Didn't Target Putin Residence With Drones

President Trump has reversed his initial stance on a purported Ukrainian drone attack on President Putin's residence. Initially expressing concern over Kremlin allegations, Trump now states that American intelligence indicates Ukraine was not responsible. He clarified that while something occurred near Putin's residence, US officials do not believe the residence itself was targeted. This change in position follows a review of new information. Previously, Russia's Foreign Minister had claimed Ukraine launched a large wave of drones towards the residence, which were reportedly intercepted. The timing of this event is notable, occurring shortly after Ukrainian President Zelensky met with Trump to discuss a peace plan. Meanwhile, the world is focused on a potential US military intervention in Venezuela, which could be interpreted as a coup involving CIA and US military cooperation. This action against a Putin ally is expected to complicate peace talks for Ukraine. The Kremlin has decried this as a double standard compared to international criticism of Russia's actions in Ukraine. Consequently, Putin may be less inclined to compromise on peace negotiations, seeking to achieve his maximalist demands. China may also increase its anti-US rhetoric, citing hypocrisy regarding Taiwan.
