Lavrov Claims Ukraine Attacked Putin's Residence, Threatens Shift in Negotiations

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that Ukraine launched a drone attack on Vladimir Putin's residence in the Novgorod region, using 91 unmanned aerial vehicles. Moscow believes this action will lead to a change in its negotiating stance. President Zelenskyy dismissed the accusations as "lies," claiming Russia is attempting to undermine peace talks and prepare the ground for attacks on Ukrainian government facilities. Russia accuses Ukraine of escalating tensions, while Ukraine accuses Russia of misinformation and provocations. The situation remains tense, and the prospects for peace negotiations are uncertain.
