Russia's Defense Ministry released footage of Major-General Alexander Romanenkov detailing what he called a thwarted Ukrainian drone attack on a Putin residence in Novgorod.

He listed the locations, exact times and flight routes of individual drones on the night of December 28-29.

Romanenkov said 91 drones were launched from Sumy and Chernihiv, causing no damage or injuries.

The video showed fragments of a downed Chaklun-V drone with what is said to be an unexploded 6-kg charge. The ministry did not explain how it knew the target.

The Russian statement comes after Kyiv accused Russia of fabricating the alleged attack to stall peace talks.

In an interview with Reuters, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi called the footage "laughable" and said Kyiv was "absolutely confident that no such attack took place."

Western officials also doubt Moscow's claims and question whether any attack occurred.
