Russia will continue dialogue on the Ukraine settlement, but will now place greater emphasis on talks with the U.S. following Kyiv’s alleged attempt to attack President Vladimir Putin’s residence, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.

"Russia is not withdrawing from the negotiation process, and will certainly continue talks and dialogue, primarily with the Americans," the Kremlin spokesman said, News.Az reports, citing TASS.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters on Monday that on the night of December 28-29, Ukraine had launched a drone attack on Putin’s residence in the Novgorod Region, employing 91 unmanned aerial vehicles. All drones were destroyed by air defenses; there were no reports of casualties or damage, Lavrov noted. The action was carried out by Kyiv amid intensive negotiations to resolve the Ukraine conflict, the top Russian diplomat stressed.

In turn, Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said that during a phone call with Trump, Putin drew attention to Kyiv's attack, which took place "almost immediately" after the US-Ukraine talks in Mar-a-Lago, and warned that it would not go "unanswered."
