Russian Diplomat Says Kiev Turns Civilian Sites Into Military Targets
A senior Russian foreign ministry official claimed Ukraine is responsible for consequences stemming from its use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes, according to Russian state media.
Rodion Miroshnik, a Russian diplomat, said Kiev is "deliberately" converting civilian facilities into military targets, according to a report by the Russian state news agency TASS.
Miroshnik stated that Ukraine is "reaping the inevitable consequences" of such actions, TASS reported, without providing further details on specific incidents or evidence to support the claim.
The statement was attributed directly to Miroshnik in the TASS report, which did not include an independent response from Ukrainian officials.
TASS did not specify the context in which the remarks were made, nor did it detail which facilities or events the diplomat was referring to.
Russian and Ukrainian officials have repeatedly traded accusations throughout the conflict regarding the use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes. Independent verification of such claims by either side has often been difficult to obtain.
