Russia denies targeting civilians, dismisses Western allegations of strike on passenger train
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova rejected claims that Moscow deliberately attacked a train carrying Western officials.
Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for Russia's Foreign Ministry, stated that the Russian army does not target civilians in its military operations, according to TASS. Her comment came in response to Western media reports alleging a "deliberate" Russian strike on a passenger train carrying former and current Western officials.
Zakharova's statement contrasts with accusations from Western sources regarding the targeting of civilian infrastructure during the conflict. Russia has previously denied allegations of civilian casualties and attacks on non-military targets.
