Kremlin foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov said the strike took place on Sunday, practically immediately after talks held in Florida between United States President Donald Trump and Zelenskyy on negotiations to end Russia's war on Ukraine."
"Zelenskyy quickly rejected Moscow's claim and accused Russia of attempting to derail the peace talks. Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha also condemned Moscow's allegation, saying it was aimed at undermining the negotiations. In a post on X, Sybiha said the claim was intended to create a pretext and false justification for Russia's further attacks against Ukraine, as well as to undermine and impede the peace process."
"Speaking to reporters, Trump said Putin raised the allegation during their call. I don't like it. It's not good, Trump said when asked whether the claim could affect his efforts to broker an end to the war in Ukraine. I learned about it from President Putin today. I was very angry about it. When asked whether there was evidence to support the allegation, Trump said, We'll find out."
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rejected Russia's assertion that Ukrainian forces attacked Vladimir Putin's residence in Novgorod. Russian officials, including Sergey Lavrov, said 91 long-range strike drones were used and that air defences shot them down with no injuries. Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov linked the alleged strike to recent Florida talks between Donald Trump and Zelenskyy on ending the war. Ukrainian officials, including Andrii Sybiha, condemned the allegation as an attempt to undermine or derail peace negotiations and create a pretext for further attacks. Russia said it would reassess its negotiating position and warned of a non-diplomatic response.
