The Kremlin said on Tuesday that it could not prove its claim that Ukrainian drones targeted one of President Vladimir Putin's residences because the drones were all "shot down". Moscow accused Ukraine of launching 91 long-range drones at Putin's home in the Novgorod region in what it called a "personal attack against Putin", vowing to retaliate.

Kyiv said Tuesday there was no "plausible" evidence that it launched a drone attack on one of Vladimir Putin's residences, accusing Moscow of peddling false claims to try to manipulate peace talks on ending its invasion.
Ukraine stressed Moscow had provided no evidence, despite almost 24 hours transpiring since Russia made the claim.
"Almost a day passed and Russia still hasn't provided any plausible evidence," Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said on social media.
"And they won't. Because there's none. No such attack happened."
Moscow on Monday said Ukraine had launched 91 long-range attack drones at Putin's secluded home in the Novgorod region, between Moscow and Saint Petersburg, and that Moscow would retaliate.
The Kremlin said Tuesday it considered it a "terrorist act" and a "personal attack against Putin" – but added it could not provide evidence for its claim as the drones were "all shot down".
It also said the Russian army had chosen "how, when and where" to retaliate against Ukraine.
