Zelenskyy Denies Putin Residence Strike: Global Tensions Surge in Late 2025
Zelenskyy denies the Russian claim of a strike on Putin's residence as global tensions flare. From Trump's Gaza promises to Anthony Joshua's crash, PRISM covers the latest updates.
The year is ending not with a whimper, but with a roar of geopolitical instability. On December 29, 2025, a series of high-stakes denials, military raids, and aggressive rhetoric has left the international community on edge.
Zelenskyy Denies Putin Residence Strike Amid Moscow’s Claims
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has firmly rejected Russia's allegations regarding a Ukrainian drone strike on President Putin’s residence. According to official statements, Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine's military focus remains strictly on liberating its own territory rather than targeting foreign leaders. This denial comes as front-line footage shows Ukrainian soldiers still relying on traditional rifles to intercept Russian drones in a grueling war of attrition.
Trump’s Rhetoric and Regional Flashpoints
Former President Donald Trump has signaled a shift in Middle Eastern policy, claiming that the rebuilding of Gaza will start soon. However, his tone toward Iran remains belligerent, threatening to "knock the hell out of them" if provocations continue. This tough talk coincides with reports of deadly clashes in Syria following widespread protests, painting a picture of a region in deep turmoil.
The fight against terrorism also saw a significant development as six alleged ISIL fighters were killed during an overnight raid in northwestern Turkiye. Away from the battlefield, the sporting world was stunned by news from Nigeria, where boxing star Anthony Joshua was injured in a serious car crash.
