Russia accused Ukraine of attacking the residence of President Vladimir Putin, which Kyiv dismissed saying it as a fabrication.
In a social media Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated:
“Russia is at it again, using dangerous statements to undermine all achievements of our shared diplomatic efforts with President Trump’s team. We keep working together to bring peace closer.”

This alleged “residence strike” story is a complete fabrication intended to justify additional attacks against Ukraine, including Kyiv, as well as Russia’s own refusal to take necessary steps to end the war. Typical Russian lies. Furthermore, the Russians have already targeted Kyiv in the past, including the Cabinet of Ministers building. Ukraine does not take steps that can undermine diplomacy. To the contrary, Russia always takes such steps. This is one of many differences between us. It is critical that the world doesn’t stay silent now. We cannot allow Russia to undermine the work on achieving a lasting peace,”he added.
On Sunday U.S. President Donald Trump and Zelensky met in Florida for the ceasefire talks. Both leaders said the two countries are broadly in agreement on most points in the negotiations.
Trump said negotiators were getting “closer” to a Ukraine peace deal. However, he acknowledged that “thorny issues” remain and declined to give a concrete timeline for their resolution.
however, neither Trump nor Zelenskyy offered a timeline, instead vowing that their teams would meet again in the coming weeks.
