Russia claims to hit Ukrainian soldiers in sums, Kyiv – that she intentionally killed civilians
Russia has confirmed that two of its Isnder M missiles have hit the Ukrainian city on Sunday, but the Ministry of Defense insists that the goal was a meeting of Ukrainian military. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov continued with the same version, stating in an interview that « there was another gathering of Ukrainian warlords with their Western colleagues who were as mercenaries, I do not know it as what ».
Ukraine called a deliberate attack on civilians, which has taken the lives of 35 people and wounded 117, some of which are in serious condition. Interior Minister Igor Klimenko explained that in the city, located only 30 kilometers from the front line, there was simply no time to hide-the rockets flew less than 45 seconds. The attack was a difference of 2-2.5 minutes, which is why they were already injured and the first to be injured.
On Sunday, the mayor of the Ukrainian city of Konkop in the Sumsk region accused the ruling department of the regional administration for organizing a awarding of military in sums. According to Artyom, Sevenyhin is about the 117th brigade and they knew everyone about it. « Thank goodness, none of the military was injured, they were all in hiding, » he adds. But, according to him, the Russians used the event to justify the shooting with cassette combat heads of the rockets with « The military has gathered there. »
Among the victims is Colonel Yuri Yula, commander of 27 brigade of reactive artillery.
Sevenechin also said on a Facebook record that, as far as he knows, the Ukrainian prosecutor’s office has launched criminal proceedings and for « whose idea was to gather military in the city center. »
In a statement, the Russian Ministry of Defense accused Ukraine of using civilians as live shields, with military facilities and holding events with the participation of soldiers in the center of a densely populated city. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refrained from a detailed comment today, referred to the military and said that Russia is attacking only « military or space goals » in Ukraine. Ministry of Time also that he had killed more than 60 troops in the impact, but without giving evidence to it.
The mayor of Konopop is convinced that the purpose of the Russians was in the first place innocent civilians. Two of the victims and 15 of the wounded are children.
- « Only scoundrels can act like that, taking away the lives of ordinary people, » Zelenski said, noting that the attack happened on Tsvetnitsa, Sunday before Easter, when many people go to church.
- Zelenski’s Cabinet Chief Andrius Jermak said Russia was trying to « kill as many civilians » as possible.
- Foreign Minister Andrius Sibiha said that Kiev « shares detailed information about this war crime with all our partners and international institutions. »
- The leaders of the UK, Germany and Italy have condemned the attack.
Trump, asked about the Russian blow, said he was terrible. « And they told me they made a mistake, » he said, without specifying more. « But I think it’s terrible. »
Later-and after Zelenski called on the United States to sell 10 Patriot systems to Ukraine for $ 15 billion, Trump said: « When you start a war, you have to win it. You don’t start a war against a 20-fold bigger country and you can count on giving you missiles. » This is once again a repetition of the narrative of the Russian aggressor, not the defending Ukraine.
Trump also did not condemn the bloodshed, but wrote on a social network that « this is Biden’s war, it is not mine. » « Presidents Zelenski and fraudster Joe Biden did an absolutely terrible job, allowing this absurdity to begin, » he wrote, saying once again that in the 2020 election they had stolen his victory (this thesis was rejected in dozens of courts in the United States – Bel.).
