A still from a video showing the remains of a drone which the Russian defence ministry claims was downed during an alleged Ukrainian attack on the Russian presidential residence. Kyiv says Moscow has produced no evidence to support its allegations and that Russia invented the alleged attack to ‌block progress at talks on ending the war in Ukraine. Reuters could not confirm the location and the date of the footage showing fragments ‌of a destroyed device. Russia had also launched an overnight drone attack on ‍Ukraine’s Odesa region, damaging residential buildings and infrastructure and injuring four ‍people, including three children, regional authorities said on Wednesday. “Strike drones attacked residential, logistics and energy infrastructure in our region,” Oleh Kiper, governor of the Odesa region, said on the ⁠Telegram messaging app.
