Russian denial: Russia’s ambassador to Israel, Anatoly Viktorov, today (Thursday) denied Ukrainian President Vladimir Zalansky’s claims that Russian forces attacked the Babi Yar memorial site two days ago.
“There is a wave of Pike News on the part of the media, which is trying to present Russia’s policy and our president in a monstrous way. Incitement against Russia all over the world,” he said. “Despite Ukraine’s claims, we did not bomb Babi Yar, this is Pike News. No damage was done to the monument.” According to him, “everything we say – honestly claim that it is propaganda.”
He added that “we do not want to occupy Ukraine. We are not trying to harm the Ukrainian people, we are only working against those who took Ukraine hostage.” According to him, “the Russian army forces are not fighting civilians and are not firing on peace-loving civilian facilities. All of this is nonsense that has no truth.”
