“Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Ukraine fired 91 drones at Putin’s official residence in the Novgorod region Sunday night into Monday, adding that all of them were destroyed by air defenses,” The Associated Press reported.

As a result of this terrorist attack, Russian authorities said they will review the positions the country has maintained so far in negotiations aimed at ending the Ukrainian conflict.

“We have no intention of withdrawing from the negotiation process with the United States. However, given the final degeneration of the criminal regime in Kiev, which has turned toward a policy of state terrorism, Russia’s negotiating positions will be reviewed,” Lavrov said.

In a telephone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump, Putin also confirmed his intention to review his country’s stance and some agreements reached during an earlier stage of negotiations on Ukraine.

Yuri Ushakov, the Kremlin’s foreign policy adviser, said that Trump was “indignant” over what happened and said he “could not even imagine such a reckless action” by Kiev.

For his part, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of lying about the existence of an attack on one of Putin’s residences.

“Now the Russians have invented an obviously false story about some kind of attack on the residence… in order to have an excuse to continue attacks against Ukraine,” Zelenskyy said in a message posted on Telegram.
