Russia shows no proof of alleged drone attack on Putin’s residence, Ukrainian foreign minister says<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n

We are restarting our live coverage of Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine<\/a> and will bring you updates on the latest diplomatic efforts to bring the nearly four-year conflict to an end.<\/p>\n

Kyiv has issued a fresh response to claims by Moscow that Ukrainian forces launched a drone attack on Vladimir Putin\u2019s state residence in Russia\u2019s northwestern Novgorod<\/strong> region.<\/p>\n

In a post on X this morning<\/a>, Ukraine\u2019s foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha<\/strong>, said Russia \u201cstill hasn\u2019t provided any plausible evidence\u201d to back up its claim, which has been dismissed by Kyiv as a lie used to justify future Russian attacks and to derail peace talks.<\/p>\n

Sybiha added that making \u201cfalse claims\u201d is a \u201csignature tactic\u201d deployed by Russia<\/a>, which he says often accuses \u201cothers of what they themselves plan to do\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sybiha added:<\/p>\n

\n

<\/svg>We were disappointed and concerned to see the statements by Emirati, Indian, and Pakistani sides expressing their concerns regarding the attack that never happened.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is even more surprising given that all three states failed to issue any official statements when a real Russian missile struck the real Ukrainian government building on September 7, 2025.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The claims of the alleged attack were first publicly aired by Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, who said yesterday that Russian air defences had shot down 91 incoming drones overnight. \u201cSuch reckless actions will not go unanswered,\u201d he added, condemning what he described as \u201cstate terrorism\u201d.<\/p>\n

Targets for retaliatory strikes against Ukraine had already been selected, he said. No damage or casualties were reported, nor were any pictures provided.<\/p>\n

Lavrov\u2019s claim came a day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/a> met the US president, Donald Trump, for almost three hours in Florida to talk about a revised 20-point-plan to bring an end to the war.<\/p>\n

Both leaders said progress had been made during the talks and stressed that the lengthy peace talks would continue. Trump, however, cautioned there were \u201cone or two tough\u201d outstanding issues<\/a>, including over territory.<\/p>\n
