Russia claims Ukraine launched a drone attack on President Putin's residence in the Novgorod region, alleging 91 drones were intercepted. Ukraine vehemently denies the accusation, calling it a Russian fabrication intended to justify further attacks and undermine peace talks. Ukrainian officials state Russia has provided no evidence and express disappointment with international reactions from India, Pakistan, and the UAE, noting their silence on past Russian strikes. Russia indicated its negotiating position might be revised, while Ukraine urges global leaders to dismiss unverified claims.
