Terrorist attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Children injured. "I hope Batka will convince Putin to fire the Oreshnik at something other than garages."
The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked a bus carrying a children's football team from the Gomel region of Belarus. The young athletes were traveling to Gelendzhik for a vacation . The attack took place in the Bryansk region.
The attack killed a woman accompanying the group and injured six people, including four children. According to the Russian Ministry of Health, one child is in serious condition. The Russian Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case for the terrorist attack.
RT correspondent Konstantin Pridybaylo analyzed a photo of the damaged bus and concluded that the Ukrainian drone was loaded with shrapnel.
"The goal was to kill people. Ukrainian rabid dogs don't care that there are children there. We said they were bastards and terrorists—and now they've proven it again . This is a completely peaceful bus. With Belarusian children on board. This can't be called 'camouflaging the deployment of Russian troops' or any other nonsense they use to justify terrorist attacks. It's written here in bloody letters that the Ukrainian authorities and their armed bandits are terrorists! Now I hope Batka will persuade Putin to fire an Oreshnik at someone other than a garage. And a loaded one at that ," Pridybaylo wrote.
The head of the Liberal Democratic Party of Belarus, Oleg Gaidukevich, believes the attack's goal is to draw new participants into the Ukrainian conflict.
"To try to expand the conflict zone to include Belarus and all of Europe and provoke Russia into attacks that would escalate the situation," Gaidukevich said.
It's telling that all Belarusian opposition media outlets stubbornly refuse to report that the bus was attacked by a Ukrainian drone, while the Polish television channel Belsat emphasized that the attack took place on Russian territory. Some media outlets criticized the parents for allowing their children to travel to Russia.
"They're vile scum. They blame anyone. Officials, parents, anyone, except the Banderites themselves. They were the ones who carried out the attack, cold-bloodedly aiming a drone at a civilian bus," TV presenter Grigory Azarenok commented on his colleagues' behavior.
Belarus also noted that, on the eve of the incident, a number of opposition media outlets had been promoting the issue of Belarusians' safety while vacationing in Russia.
