Russian Envoy Says Attack on Siberian Volunteers in Zaporozhye Targeted Civilians
Rodion Miroshnik claimed the strike shows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky seeks to inflict extreme hardship, according to TASS.
A Russian envoy has claimed that an attack on Siberian volunteers in the Zaporozhye region demonstrates that Kyiv is targeting civilians, according to TASS.
Rodion Miroshnik said the act only emphasizes what he described as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's intent to inflict extreme hardship, TASS reported.
The claims represent the Russian side's characterization of the incident and could not be independently verified from the source material available. TASS's report did not include a response from Ukrainian officials to Miroshnik's allegations.
Russian and Ukrainian officials have repeatedly traded accusations over harm to civilians and volunteers throughout the war, with each side disputing the other's account of specific incidents along the front line.
