Ukraine’s foreign minister Andrii Sybiha responds to claims by Moscow of a strike on home in Russia’s Novgorod region
We are restarting our live coverage of Russia’s war in Ukraine and will bring you updates on the latest diplomatic efforts to bring the nearly four-year conflict to an end.
Kyiv has issued a fresh response to claims by Moscow that Ukrainian forces launched a drone attack on Vladimir Putin’s state residence in Russia’s northwestern Novgorod region.
In a post on X this morning, Ukraine’s foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, said Russia “still hasn’t provided any plausible evidence” to back up its claim, which has been dismissed by Kyiv as a lie used to justify future Russian attacks and to derail peace talks.
Sybiha added that making “false claims” is a “signature tactic” deployed by Russia, which he says often accuses “others of what they themselves plan to do”.
