AI Summary

medium article 4 min

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has denied Russia's claim that Ukraine launched a drone attack on President Vladimir Putin's residence in the Novgorod region. Russian officials, including Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, alleged that 91 long-range drones were used in the attack, which they say was thwarted by air defense systems. The Kremlin stated the alleged attack occurred shortly after talks between Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump regarding peace negotiations. Zelenskyy and Ukrainian officials condemned the allegation, accusing Russia of attempting to undermine ongoing peace talks and create a pretext for further attacks against Ukraine. Russia stated it would reassess its negotiating position following the alleged attack, and Trump said Putin raised the issue during a phone call.
