"Russia is trying to disrupt peace talks"/ Ukraine denies drone attack

President Volodymyr Zelensky has denied Russia's accusations that Ukraine carried out a drone attack on one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's residences and accused Moscow of trying to sabotage peace talks.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed that Kiev had launched an overnight attack using 91 long-range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on Putin's state residence in Russia's northwestern Novgorod region.

Russia said it would review its position on peace negotiations after the attack. It is still unclear where Putin was at the time of the alleged attack.

Zelensky dismissed the claim as "typical Russian lies" intended to give the Kremlin an excuse to continue its attacks on Ukraine. He said Russia had previously targeted government buildings in Kiev.

"It is essential that the world does not remain silent now. We cannot allow Russia to undermine the work to achieve a lasting peace," Zelensky said in "X".

The claim from Moscow comes after talks between the US and Ukraine in Florida on Sunday, where Presidents Trump and Zelensky discussed a revised peace plan to end the war. After the meeting, Zelensky told Fox News on Monday that there was a possibility of ending the war by 2026. But he said Ukraine could not win the war without US support.

Ukraine's leader described territorial issues and the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as the last unresolved issues, and there were few signs of progress on the future of Ukraine's disputed Donbas region - which Russia wants to completely occupy.

Moscow currently controls about 75% of the Donetsk region and about 99% of neighboring Luhansk. The two regions are known together as Donbas. Russia has previously rejected key parts of the plan under discussion.

The White House said Monday that President Trump had concluded a positive phone call with Putin, following US-Ukraine talks. /CNA
