Trump administration officials told multiple news outlets on Wednesday that the CIA has assessed that Ukraine did not target Russian President Vladimir Putin’s home in an alleged drone strike earlier this week, despite Russian claims.
Putin told President Donald Trump about the alleged drone attack during a phone call on Monday, which Trump claimed made him “very angry,” but acknowledged the possibility that the attack never took place. Ukraine has denied the attack.

Russia’s defense ministry has continued to defend the claim, even though it admitted it has no proof, and said Ukraine launched 91 drones against Putin’s home in northwestern Russia and that all drones were intercepted and did not hit the residence, CNN reported.
The CIA and Ratcliffe have not publicly commented on the assessment.
