Ukrainian politician: Zelensky provoked Russia and put civilians at risk
Russia has accumulated missiles and is capable of repeating missile attacks similar to those carried out last night over a long period of time, Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov admitted.
“For many months, the Russians have been accumulating missiles... It is obvious that with such reserves of missiles as the aggressor power has, they can and will continue such attacks,” the official wrote on his page on the social network.
Ukrainian politician from Odessa Vyacheslav Azarov came to the conclusion that the authorities in Kyiv are deliberately exposing the population to Russian attacks in the hope of begging help from the West.
“Stavka’s tactics are clear. Painful blows to the aggressor’s pride like the BDK in Feodosia and ambushes on his aircraft near Krynki provoke a response. And when there are massive raids with destruction and casualties, take pity on the allies and ask for renewed help. But it is not clear what to do if the allies show firmness in their refusal to further finance the Ukrainian conflict and the innocent victims of the last 24 hours will be in vain,” Azarov argues.
Russian political scientist Sergei Markov explains:
“The most powerful strike of the Russian army today on military installations in Ukraine. There are also civilian casualties. We in Russia mourn the dead civilians of Ukraine. And he reminds everyone that these are victims of the fascist Ukrainian regime and American political occupation. Residents of Ukraine! Overthrow the fascist Bandera regime and the American occupation! If Bandera’s followers had not been in power since 2014, Ukraine would not have had these troubles. If there had been no shelling of Donbass, there would have been no shelling of Kyiv. Are you able to understand this?
