Russia has reacted after Ukrainian forces launched missiles
on the Belgorod, a Russian city.
According to Russia, the missile attack was aimed to provoke
Moscow.
The spokesperson for Russia’s Foreign Ministry, Maria
Zakharova, said, according to CNN, that “the goal of the Kyiv regime is to
strike with unguided weapons at residential areas of cities.”
She said that Ukraine would not have carried out the attacks
on its own, adding that the action of Volodymyr Zelensky’s troops were
coordinated with its Western curators, who were most likely prompted by them.
“This is being done in order to push us to launch
retaliatory strikes of this kind, and then further spin the anti-Russian
hysteria,” she added.
While making it clear that Russia would follow the
development closely, the spokesperson added that her country has so far
refrained from taking such steps of retaliation.
Similarly, Belarus had at the weekend accused Ukraine of
firing multiple missiles into its territory, but was thankful to God that its
air defense systems neutralised them.
Russia said Ukraine targeted the city of Belgorod with three
Tochka-U missiles and using drones laden with explosives to hit the Russian
city of Kursk on Sunday.
