Russia on Monday promised to retaliate against Ukraine after it said nearly 100 drones had targeted one of President Vladimir Putin's residences, likely throwing a wrench into President Donald Trump’s efforts to end the nearly four-year war.

"Such reckless actions will not go unanswered. The targets for retaliatory strikes and the timing of their implementation by the Russian armed forces have been determined," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said without offering details of the alleged attacks in the region of Novgorod.

Soon after, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the claims a lie aimed at jeopardizing negotiations. Russia would most likely use the alleged attack to launch strikes at government buildings in Kyiv, the capital, he added.

Trump later told reporters that he "just heard" about the attack alleged by Russia.

“That would be too bad. That would not be good,” he said ahead of his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
