Russia accuses Ukraine of military attack on Putin's residence: 'state terrorism'
Ukrainian President Zelensky says it's a false claim intended to undermine peace talks.
Russia is promising retaliation against Ukraine for an alleged military attack on President Vladimir Putin's residence in the northern Russia area of Novgorod, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky deemed a lie intended to undermine peace talks, Reuters reports.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday that Russian air defenses destroyed all 91 long-range drones targeting Putin's residence and that no one was injured and no damage reported. "Such reckless actions," which Lavrov deemed "state terrorism," will be answered with retaliatory strikes on targets in Ukraine, he said.
Russia will review its position in negotiations about a possible Ukrainnian peace deal in response to the alleged attack, Lavrov said.
