A recent claim by Russia about a drone attack on President Vladimir Putin's residence has sparked a heated debate. Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Ukraine launched 91 drones at Putin's home in the Novgorod region. But Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky called these claims "typical Russian lies" and accused Moscow of trying to justify further attacks on Ukraine.
The incident has raised questions about the ongoing peace talks. Russia said it would reassess its position in the negotiations, but it's not clear if this is a real change or just a tactic. Meanwhile, Ukraine is urging the world not to stay silent and to support efforts for a lasting peace.
The attack, if it happened, was reportedly thwarted by Russian air defenses. Lavrov said there were no casualties or damage, but the incident has added more tension to the already strained relationship between the two countries.
This isn't the first time Ukraine and Russia have clashed over such claims. Earlier, Russia targeted government buildings in Kyiv, which Ukraine saw as a provocative act. The latest incident comes after talks between the US, Ukraine, and Russia, where a revised peace plan was discussed.
The peace plan includes security guarantees for Ukraine, but there are still unresolved issues, such as the status of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and the future of the contested Donbas region. Russia wants to seize the entire Donbas region, which is currently mostly under its control.
It's unclear how this latest incident will affect the peace process. Both sides have different views on what happened and what should be done next. The world is watching closely to see how this situation unfolds.
