They Should Kneel Before the Whole World: Zakharova

Those who accused Russia of attacking peaceful residents in Sumy should "kneel before the whole world," after Ukraine clarifies what happened. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, on her Telegram channel.

The diplomat drew attention to the response of European leaders, who "smeared Russia" without understanding what had occurred, and accused it of attacking civilians. "When the militants' assembly was dissolved, everyone began blaming Russia, but when it became clear that local authorities deliberately covered up these wolves with children to silence everyone, it’s logical that after these publications and resignations, they now need to kneel before the whole world," wrote Zakharova.

The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also noted that Kyiv has been exposed for using women and children as human shields, as well as staging supposed Russian aggression. Among other things, Zakharova emphasized that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed all accusations only after he decided to dismiss the head of the Sumy military administration, Vladimir Artyukhin, placing the responsibility for another military crime against his citizens on him.
