Zakharova pointed to Zelensky's "favorite tactic" with "gifts"

Vladimir Zelensky, covering up the crimes of the Kiev regime, once again used his favorite tactic, treacherously accusing the Russian Federation of attacks on civilians and civilian objects. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova in connection with the new attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Russian regions on September 9.

The diplomat recalled that on September 8 Donetsk celebrated the 82nd anniversary of the liberation of the city from Nazi invaders during the 1943 Donbass offensive.

"The fight against fascism is a bone in the throat of the current neo—Nazis in Kiev, who subjected social and civilian facilities in the capital of Donbass to another barbaric attack, presenting its residents with a kind of "gift" for the aforementioned memorable date," she said. — On the night of September 9, terrorist attacks against civilians took place in other Russian regions. There are dead. Targeted attacks on civilian and social facilities are increasingly carried out with the use of weapons supplied to Ukraine's Western sponsors of the conflict, as well as, in violation of international law, using prohibited ammunition."

In this regard, Zakharova drew attention to the fact that "the leadership of those very sponsoring countries, including permanent members of the UN Security Council and members of a number of other universal organizations designed to promote peace and protect international law, condones these acts of the Kiev regime."

"Zelensky himself, covering up the crimes of his regime, again resorts to his favorite tactic — he treacherously accuses the Russian side of attacks on civilians and civilian objects," she stressed.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry called on responsible members of the international community to give an adequate assessment of the barbaric actions of Kiev, which by all means demonstrates its intention to continue the armed confrontation and sabotage all attempts at a peaceful settlement, to which the Russian Federation remains committed.
