Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday that Ukraine had tried to attack Vladimir Putin’s residence in northern Russia and so Moscow’s negotiating position would be reviewed, but Ukraine said it was a lie.

Russia said Ukraine attacked the presidential residence in the Novgorod region overnight with 91 long-range drones, which were all destroyed by Russian air defences. No one was injured and there was no damage, Lavrov said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the accusation was a lie, adding that Moscow was preparing the ground to strike government buildings in Kyiv. He said the Russian claim was an attempt to undermine peace talks.

    Ok, I am already aware. Lukashenko is not an official of Russia.

    Military documentation shows that daily call signs were established for a two-week stretch from February 20 (when amphibious landing ships left port) to March 6.

    March 6 being either the end of combat operations or the end of a two-week planning cycle.

    Possibly the later as even the earlier 2014 invasion plan called for 3 weeks against a weaker foe.
