(CNN) — Russia’s foreign minister alleged that a Ukrainian drone attack targeted one of President Vladimir Putin’s residences on Monday, in a claim that was immediately rejected by Kyiv.

As a result of the alleged attack in the Novgorod region, Sergey Lavrov said “Russia’s negotiating position will be revised” in the ongoing peace talks seeking to end Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. Lavrov said there was no damage or casualties resulting from the incident.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky immediately rejected the claim as “another lie” from Russia.

“It is clear that we had a meeting with (US President Donald) Trump yesterday,” Zelensky told reporters via a voice message. “And it is clear that for the Russians, if there is no scandal between us and America, and we are making progress, for them it is a failure, because they do not want to end this war.”

This is a developing story and will be updated.
