Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday that ⁠Ukraine had tried to attack President Vladimir Putin’s residence in the Novgorod region and so Moscow’s negotiating position would be reviewed.

Ukraine said Russia’s claim was a lie and that Russia was preparing to strike government building in Kyiv.

Russia said Ukraine attacked the presidential residence in the Novgorod region overnight with 91 long-range ‍drones, which were all destroyed by Russian air defences. No one was injured and there was no damage, Lavrov said.
“Another lie from the Russian Federation,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told journalists. “They’re simply preparing the ground to carry out strikes, probably on the capital and probably on government buildings.

“Everyone needs to be alert now, absolutely everyone. A strike on the capital may be carried out, especially since this person [Putin] … said they will choose corresponding targets.”

Lavrov said targets had already been selected for retaliatory strikes by Russia’s armed forces.
