The Kremlin is reportedly looking to US President Donald Trump to legitimise the claims of a Ukrainian drone attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin's home. The move follows Trump's initial outrage at the claim, an opinion he appeared to walk back afterthe CIA allegedly revealed to him that it was fabricated.

Russia is reportedly hoping to get Trump to reject the clarification by the CIA on the supposed Ukrainian drone attack on Putin's home.
