Russia Threatens New Attacks: Ukrainian Armed Forces

The Russian Federation justifies its wide-scale artillery bombardment of Ukraine by the alleged threat of "terrorist attacks and provocations." This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing a statement from the Russian Ministry of Defense.

“The Russian command has announced that Kyiv, with the support of certain European countries, has taken a series of provocative steps to disrupt negotiations, which, allegedly, were initiated by Russia. Furthermore, the Russians traditionally insist that they are attacking only Ukraine's military facilities and defense industry, which is blatantly false,” stated the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Recall that the Russian Armed Forces issued a statement noting that “the Russian military will continue to strike in response to any terrorist attacks and provocations carried out by the Kyiv regime.”
