Lavrov Addresses Drone Attack on Putin’s Residence


(MENAFN) Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced that Moscow will alter its “negotiating position” in the ongoing Ukraine talks following an attempted drone strike on President Vladimir Putin’s official residence.

In a statement delivered Monday, Lavrov said that during the night of December 28–29, “the Kiev regime launched a terrorist attack, using 91 long-range strike unmanned aerial vehicles on the state residence of the president of the Russian Federation in Novgorod Region.”

He confirmed that all 91 drones were intercepted, with no casualties or damage reported.
Lavrov stressed that the attempted strike occurred while Russian and US officials were engaged in “intensive negotiations.”

Although Moscow will not withdraw from the US-mediated discussions aimed at resolving the conflict, Lavrov emphasized that “Russia’s negotiating position will be revised” due to Ukraine’s “reckless actions.”

He concluded by stating, “Targets for retaliatory strikes and the time for their implementation by the Russian Armed Forces have been determined.”
