Russia’s defense ministry has released video footage claiming to show a thwarted drone attack by Ukraine on one of President Vladimir Putin’s residences, alleging that 91 drones were launched from Ukrainian regions. Ukrainian officials have dismissed these claims, asserting that Russia failed to provide evidence and accusing it of fabricating the incident to derail peace talks. Concurrently, both nations have targeted each other’s Black Sea ports, with damage reported in Tuapse and Odesa, where Russian strikes injured civilians and caused infrastructural harm. The ongoing conflict escalates as both sides exchange accusations, complicating efforts toward a resolution.
