Zelensky calls Moscow claim of drone attack on Putin residence a 'lie'

Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday called Moscow's claim that Kyiv attacked Russian leader Vladimir Putin's residence with drones a "lie" to justify fresh strikes on Kyiv.

"Another lie from the Russian Federation," Zelensky told journalists. "They're simply preparing the ground to carry out strikes, probably on the capital and probably on government buildings," he said.

"Everyone needs to be alert now, absolutely everyone. A strike on the capital may be carried out, especially since this person (Putin)... said they will choose corresponding targets."
