Russia claims Ukraine fired 91 drones at Putin’s residence, at the same time Zelensky was meeting Trump in Mar-a-Lago.
Ukraine claims this is a Russian False Flag to derail the ongoing peace negotiations
And based on Trump’s comments a few minutes ago, he seems unsure who’s saying the truth and who’s lying.
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson breaks down Russia’s claim, and why the most likely scenario is that Ukraine, along with members of the U.S. or British intelligence, were likely behind this attack, without Zelensky’s or Trump’s approval.
And the objective is simple: Prevent the war from ending.
We get into:
• Why the timing points to an attempt to sabotage peace talks.
• Whether head of Ukrainian intelligence Budanov could’ve acted independently, and why that matters.
• How rogue CIA elements may be undermining Trump’s diplomacy.
• Why Lavrov’s swift reaction signals serious Russian retaliation.
• The risks of Russia striking British or European assets in response.
• How this could mark the end of covert restraint on both sides.
• Why Russia may now consider targeting Ukraine’s intelligence leadership directly.
Whoever is saying the truth, all eyes are now on Russia’s response, and the impact this could have on the ongoing negotiations.

07:53 - “If they take out Putin, they think they’re eliminating an obstacle to peace, that’s very foolish.”
08:30 - “If really 91 long-range drones were launched, that means there was Western intelligence support.”

10:57 - There’s no basis for negotiation.
14:46 - “British intelligence is critical, French and German intelligence are not that important.”
16:24 - “It would be easy to refute if the U.S. could simply produce the radar.”
