The Blood of Those Innocent Victims is on His Hands: Zakharova

The military crime of the Kyiv regime has become so evident that even the Ukrainian population and the information space controlled by the Kyiv regime have raised voices of outrage, including from close associates of Zelensky. This was stated by Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, on her Telegram channel.

“Supreme Rada deputy Marianna Bezugla has publicly demanded to find out who, fearing to hit a legitimate target and also fearing a response from the Russian side, ordered to use women and children as human shields for military actions. Zelensky confirmed all allegations directed at him by dismissing the head of the Sumy military administration, Artyukhin, yesterday, thus seemingly placing the responsibility for this latest horrific military crime, this time against his own citizens, on him.

Is the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres aware of all this, who was genuinely concerned about the missile strike the day after hitting a completely legitimate target and accused our country of attacking civilians? I also direct my question to Kallas and Merz, who deliberately engaged in verbal manipulation and slandered Russia all Sunday and Monday; how are you now going to justify all of this?” the diplomat stated.

According to her, the Kyiv regime uses women and children as human shields and then stages them to present it as if all of this occurred due to Russian aggression. “Ukrainian fighters are effectively taking their fellow citizens hostage. The blood of peaceful victims is on Zelensky and his improvisations,” Zakharova wrote.
