Russia has accused Ukraine of launching 91 drones to attack a presidential residence in the Novgorod region, calling it a "terrorist act" and stating its negotiating stance will toughen. Ukraine vehemently denies the claim, calling it "typical Russian lies" and stating Russia has provided no plausible evidence. Kyiv suggests the accusation is a fabrication to justify further attacks and prolong the war. International reactions include calls for transparency and concern over potential peace talk derailment, with some leaders expressing skepticism about Russia's allegations.
