Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed deep concern over reports of targeting the residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin on December 30, 2025, urging focus on diplomatic efforts to end hostilities, in a statement posted on X and shared by @KremlinRussia_E between 6:15 a.m. and 8:45 a.m. UTC. Modi stated ongoing diplomatic efforts offer the most viable path toward peace and called on all parties to avoid actions undermining them, according to the X post during the reporting window. Ukraine's 'Birds of Magyar' 1st OC SBS unit claimed to have inflicted massive damage on a Russian Shahed/Gheran drone logistics hub, pre-flight preparation site, central warehouse, Gerber UAV storage, and enemy personnel concentration point near Donetsk Airport on the night of December 30, according to a post from the MAДЯR🇺🇦 group during the period. The SBS operation involved the intelligence management of the 414th unit and the deep damage center of the Unmanned Systems Forces Group, as detailed in the group's update linking to their online scoreboard. These developments follow a statement from Russian aide Yury Ushakov after a Putin-Trump call that a temporary ceasefire would prolong the conflict, per Russia's Foreign Ministry Telegram shared earlier on December 30.
