Ukraine tried to carry out a terrorist attack with 91 long-range unmanned aerial vehicles against the official residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin, located in the province of Novgorod, the Foreign Minister said Monday.

Sergey Lavrov, detailing that the attempted attack was carried out during the night of December 28 to 29 with drones, which were shot down by air defense systems and that there is no information of victims or damage.

“We want to highlight the fact that this action was carried out during intensive negotiations between Russia and the United States to resolve the Ukrainian conflict. Reckless actions like this will not go unanswered,” Lavrov said.

“The objectives of the response attacks and the time when they will be launched by the Russian Armed Forces have already been determined,” he added.

On the other hand, he indicated that Moscow does not intend to abandon negotiations with Washington that seek to resolve the Ukrainian crisis, but affirms that it is necessary to review its position. “Taking into account the definitive transformation of the criminal regime in Kiev, which has started to implement a policy of State terrorism, Russia's negotiating position will be reviewed,” he stressed.

Previously, the Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, has ruled out, for now, that the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodimir Zelensky, will hold a phone call. “Now there's no talk of a conversation,” the spokesman said.
