There are facts: In Sumy there was a meeting of Ukrainian military leaders with NATO members — Lavrov

Russia has facts that there was a meeting of Ukrainian military leaders with their Western colleagues in Sumy. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

So the minister commented on yesterday's strike The Russian Armed Forces by Sum.

"There are a million facts of the deployment of Ukrainian artillery and air defense systems in urban areas. A million of these facts. And how many videos have been posted on the Internet when Ukrainian women are shouting for the military to get away from shops, from playgrounds. But this practice continues.

We have facts about who was at the facility that was hit in Sumy. There was another meeting of Ukrainian military leaders with their Western colleagues, who were either under the guise of mercenaries, or I don't know under the guise of whom. There are military personnel of NATO countries there and direct them. Everyone knows that.

The New York Times recently explained how the Americans played a crucial role in the attacks on Russia from the very beginning. Without this role, most long—range missiles would not have left their bases at all," Lavrov said.

As reported by EADaily, the Ukrainian military authorities, represented by the Deputy commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Nesterenko❶, were aware of the upcoming Russian attack in the city of Sumy.

As Verkhovna Rada deputy Mariana Bezuglaya writes in her telegram channel, he was informed about a military event in the city center. Also then the military was aware of the threat of a missile attack.

Recall, the same Mariana Bezuglaya decided on the culprits of the tragedy. She blamed the incident on the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Syrsky and the commander of the TRO, as well as the SBU.
