Russia said on Friday that its forces had carried out multiple strikes on Ukrainian targets with high-precision weapons over the past week, while Ukraine on the same day reported repelling attacks from Russian forces.
According to Russia's Defense Ministry, over the past week, Russian forces conducted strikes on Ukraine's defense, energy and transport infrastructure, and controlled nine settlements in the Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv directions.
On Friday, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced that 98 battles occurred in the front-line areas over the past day, with Ukrainian forces repelling multiple Russian offensives. Ukrainian missile units, air force, and artillery conducted strikes against multiple Russian targets.
Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, stated Friday that Russia's claim of a Ukrainian drone attack on Russian presidential residence was false information and lacked credible evidence.
The claim was intended to delay negotiations and sow discord between the United States and Ukraine, he said.
Earlier on Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in a statement that Ukraine launched 91 long-range attack drones at a presidential estate in the Novgorod region late Sunday into early Monday.
