The Russian military reiterated today its claims that Ukraine attacked a drone at Vladimir Putin's residence and released a video showing a downed unmanned aerial vehicle during the 'attack', which Kyiv categorically denies. Moscow claims the attack took place on the night of Sunday to Monday, using 91 drones. Moscow has not provided additional evidence. The publication of the video and map is the first 'evidence' Russia has presented to support its claims, almost three days after announcing the attack. However, there is no independent confirmation of the attack, nor reports or videos from local residents. The head of European diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, accused Russia of seeking to derail peace efforts by promoting 'baseless' claims about the attack on Putin's residence. Kallas argued that Russia is using the accusation as a distraction.
