The Kremlin appears to be counting on Donald Trump to legitimize its claims of a Ukrainian attack on President Vladimir Putin’s home—an attack the U.S. president was “very angry” about until he learned it never happened.
In a televised meeting in Moscow on Thursday, a top Russian military chief presented a U.S. military attaché with part of a drone the Russian Defense Ministry claims was used to attack Putin’s residence a day after Trump said he was close to reaching a deal with Ukraine’s president to end the war.
Admiral Igor Kostyukov, head of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of Russia’s Armed Forces, told the U.S. official the drone part would serve as proof of the Ukrainian attack and “without question” reveal the “truth.”
