Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova condemned the Ukrainian regime for exploiting the tragic incident at a children’s hospital in Kiev for propaganda purposes, labeling their actions as inhuman and reminiscent of Nazi practices. She criticized the regime for putting its citizens, especially children, in harm’s way to maintain power and using them as human shields against military attacks, which violates international laws.
Zakharova stated that the Russian strikes on Ukrainian military targets were in retaliation for attacks on Russian economic facilities by the Ukrainian army. The Russian Defense Ministry refuted claims of deliberately targeting civilians in Ukraine, emphasizing that their actions were justified responses to military provocations.
The situation highlights the ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with both sides accusing each other of aggression. The safety and well-being of innocent civilians, especially children, continue to be at risk in the conflict.
