Russians preparing strikes on government buildings in Ukraine
Zelenskyy denied Lavrov’s statement and accused Russia of lying. He linked these accusations to successful talks in Mar-a-Lago.
In his view, Moscow is trying to create an information backdrop for escalation, as progress in Ukraine-U.S. relations is a "failure for the Russians."
"The Russians do not want to end this war. With their statement that some residence was attacked, they are simply preparing the ground to strike the capital and government buildings," the head of state stressed.
Zelenskyy recalled the September missile strike on the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine building and urged Ukrainians to be максимально attentive to air raid alerts in the near future.
