Russia claims 91 Ukrainian drones targeted Vladimir Putin’s Novgorod residence but were downed. Sergey Lavrov warns of retaliation and says peace talks with Donald Trump’s team will continue.
In a televised statement, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the drone attack in the intervening night of Sunday and Monday failed to cause any damage as the drones were downed. He, however, warned that Russia reserves the right to respond at an appropriate time.
Lavrov described the Ukrainian attacks as an attempt to derail peace talks by Kyiv and its allies.

He added that Moscow will change its stance on peace talks with Ukraine, but peace negotiations will continue with the team of US President Donald Trump. “Putin told Trump about the attack on the presidential residence in a phone call the two leaders had on Monday. President Trump was shocked,” the Kremlin foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov was quoted as saying by Russian TV channels.
