Ukrainian Parliamentary Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets reported that two Russian soldiers shot seven civilians hiding in the basement of a residential building in Pokrovsk, according to the Telegram channel Брати по Зброї between 7:15 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. UTC on December 29, 2025. Among those killed was an entire family consisting of a couple, their son and the woman's mother. One wounded man survived by pretending to be dead, per the channel citing Lubinets. Separately, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin told him this morning of an attack on his residence, saying, "That's very bad. Don't forget, I stopped the Tomahawks. It's one thing to take offensive action, it's another to attack his home. Now is not the time for that," according to X posts by markito0171 and RepDonBacon over the past hour. Rep. Don Bacon noted Trump was "very angry" upon learning of reports of a drone strike on Putin's residence during their phone call this morning, adding that Ukraine has denied the attack and that Putin is a known liar, per his X post in the reporting window. Air detections were reported in Chernihiv region with one toward Novgorod-Siverskyi and one on the hills, and in Dnipropetrovsk region with six on Shiroke south of Kryvyi Rih, according to the Telegram channel єРадар during the same period.
