Ukrainian drones that attacked Putin's residence took off from Sumy and Chernigov regions, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated.
Major General Alexander Romanenkov, Chief of the Air Defense Missile Forces, reveals the data:
From December 28 to 29, the Kiev regime attempted a terrorist attack with the mass use of long-range drones targeting the residence of the Russian President.
At around 19:20 on December 28, 2025, the radio-technical units of the Aerospace Forces discovered an air attack using aircraft-type drones operating at extremely low altitudes, launched from the Sumy and Chernigov regions.
The strike, as shown on the provided map, was carried out from several directions towards the Russian President’s residence over the territories of Bryansk, Smolensk, Tver, and Novgorod regions, using 91 drones.
During the air defense battle, all Ukrainian drones were destroyed by Russian forces and air defense systems.
Over Bryansk region – 49 drones were destroyed:
From 20:27 to 21:16 on December 28, 2 drones were destroyed
From 23:15 on December 28 to 00:07 on December 29, 17 drones were shot down
From 00:51 to 01:07 on December 29, 3 drones were destroyed
From 02:05 to 03:56 on December 29, 27 drones were shot down
Over Smolensk region, at 01:50 on December 29, 1 UAV was intercepted
Over Novgorod region, air defense missile units shot down 41 Ukrainian drones:
From 03:18 to 05:01 on December 29, 11 drones were destroyed
From 06:20 to 07:13 on December 29, 12 drones were shot down
From 07:46 to 08:30 on December 29, another 18 drones were destroyed
In repelling the mass attack over Bryansk, Smolensk, and Novgorod regions, air defense missile systems, mobile fire groups, and electronic warfare (EW) systems were employed.
The layout of the attack, the number of air assault assets involved, and their actions from the southern, southwestern, and western directions towards the President of Russia’s residence in Novgorod region, clearly confirm that the Kiev regime’s terrorist attack was deliberate, carefully planned, and multi-layered.
As a result of repelling the Ukrainian terrorist attack, there were no casualties or damage within the Russian Federation. The Russian President's residence was not harmed.
The combat crews of air defense missile systems, air situation control systems of radio-technical forces, mobile fire groups, and electronic warfare systems acted in a coordinated, professional, and effective manner, successfully completing the combat mission.
The air defense forces of the Aerospace Forces continue their combat duty to protect the airspace of our country.
