Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday that Ukraine had tried to attack Vladimir Putin’s residence in northern Russia and so Moscow’s negotiating position would be reviewed, but Ukraine said it was a lie.
Russia said Ukraine attacked the presidential residence in the Novgorod region overnight with 91 long-range drones, which were all destroyed by Russian air defences. No one was injured and there was no damage, Lavrov said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the accusation was a lie, adding that Moscow was preparing the ground to strike government buildings in Kyiv. He said the Russian claim was an attempt to undermine peace talks.
I don’t think anyone would care if they did
3 cheers for Ukraine if they’re sending bombs at pooty poot. Fuck Russia.
It’s just a (not so thinly veiled) attempt to change their position at the bargaining table. If Ukraine can hit specific points and minimize civilian casualties (something that Russia doesn’t seem to care about), they should.
Trump might throw a hissy fit
And? You wanted war? Well here you go fuck boy, don’t be crying all over the place complaining after just attacking them on Saturday.
Pooosssssssssssyyyyy
There have been stories of assassination attempts on Zelenskyy since the start. There’s no way he would have survived had the three day target been met.

Lukashenko claimed it would only take 3-4 days to take over Ukraine.

Sure, he’s not an official, but he a good friend of Putin and surely he got that information from somewhere. And I don’t think most people care if Putin was actually the one to claim it would take 3 days. It’s not that important in the grand scheme of things.
But I appreciate that you try to be factual. It’s more than you can say about the Russian Government who lied and called the invasion of Ukraine a “special military operation” and as far as I know they still won’t admit that it’s an invasion.
Referring to that as a dismissal is some .ml level mental gymnastics.

I’m sure the foot soldiers went by the book because having your head stuck up your ass doesn’t make a great winning strategy, something they soon discovered after trying to march directly into Kiev failed dramatically. That documentation does nothing to prove anything except that training does as training trains. The folly that killed Prigozhin for the benefit of the yes men in the army is alive and well in Russia.

Yet, you make them look like the better reference in comparison.
“you’re lying, but thanks for the idea” - Kyiv
Playing the victim while punching the other guy in the groin. Fucking russian losers.
Why would they not attack his residence?
It doesn’t burn as well as oil refineries, has only symbolic value and is likely 10 x better protected than an average strategic industrial site.
However, sending one or two drones irregularly - with no hope of arrival, just to keep the air defense launchers stationed there - that would make sense.
So what if they did attack Putin’s house? They are at war, after all

Putin is targeting civilians.
Only fair that Ukraine targets Putin.
“Yeah, there was an attack, but it goes to another high school, you wouldn’t know it.”
Cry some more, Putler.
I hope they did. It obviously made the spineless coward scared. A shame they didn’t manage to kill him though.
You know how to know Russia is lying‽
‘Putin Told Me’ – Trump’s Trust Test as Russia Revives Familiar Playbook – (Web archive link)
… Trump was taking questions at the doorstep of his Mar-a-Lago residence on Tuesday … when he offered a striking explanation for why he was “furious” over an alleged Ukrainian attack on Russian soil: Russian President Vladimir Putin had told him about it himself.
“You know who told me about it?” the president said, recounting claims that Ukraine had tried to strike one of Putin’s residences in northern Russia. “President Putin told me about it” … Trump said he was “very angry” about the alleged attack, calling it an unacceptable escalation – even while conceding that the incident might not have happened at all.
“It’s possible too, I guess,” Trump said. “But President Putin told me this morning it did.”
For critics in Washington and Europe, the episode sharpened a long-simmering concern: Trump’s apparent readiness to accept Putin’s word at face value, even as Kyiv denied the claim and US intelligence agencies had not publicly confirmed it …

In year 2025, a foreign minister looking slightly like a horse makes a claim without video evidence.
I will first believe that a two-humped camel has been sighted in the forests of occupied Donbas. At least the video showed a camel and a forest, even if I don’t know if it was Donbas. :)
