US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker told Fox Business that Russia's claim of a Ukrainian drone strike on President Vladimir Putin's residence is unclear if it even happened, according to a post by @NOELreports on X during the 29-minute reporting window ending at 9:15 p.m. UTC on Dec. 30. Whitaker stressed the need to review intelligence and noted such actions would be strange amid progress toward peace talks. Russians brought dozens of mobile generators to multi-story buildings in Ramenskoye amid ongoing power outages in some Moscow region cities, with the main power supply not expected to be restored soon, as stated by @Exilenova_plus on X in the same period. The account noted this as the third year of regular destruction of energy infrastructure. These power issues in Ramenskoye follow earlier outages affecting up to 600,000 subscribers in Moscow suburbs including Zhukovsky, Lytkarino, and Ramenskoye from 4:46 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. UTC on Dec. 30, attributed by authorities to a substation accident amid drone threats, per prior Exilenova+ reports.
