Background:
- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has claimed that Ukraine carried out a drone strike on one of Putin's residences on the night of 28-29 December and said this would lead to a revision of Russia's "negotiating position".
- Yuri Ushakov, an aide to Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin, has claimed that Trump has adjusted his approach to Ukraine and Zelenskyy.
