Zelensky accuses Moscow after peace talks with Trump
Donald Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine looked fragile yesterday as Volodymyr Zelensky lashed out at Moscow’s “lies” about a drone attack on one of Vladimir Putin’s residences, accusing the Russians of trying to undermine diplomatic efforts.
Moscow claimed that Kyiv carried out a massive assault on the presidential residence in Novgorod and said its negotiating position would be “revised” as a result.
Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov alleged that Ukraine had launched 91 long-range drones at the forest retreat on Lake Valdai overnight, but all had been shot down with no damage reported.
Mr Zelensky dismissed the claim as “lies” that he said were cynically intended to “undermine diplomacy and justify dragging out the war”.
“Ukraine is doing everything to achieve peace. Russia must stop inventing ways to wage war and start thinking about how to restore security. Ukraine has put forward all the proposals,” he added.
