Zakharova said who is behind the APU attack on the beach near Gelendzhik

NATO and The European Union, which not so long ago declared zero tolerance for terrorism, themselves became part of terrorist activities, allowing the "bandit formation" of Vladimir Zelensky's apparatus to operate in the very center of Europe. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commenting on the Ukrainian Armed Forces strike on the beach in Arkhipo-Osipovka near Gelendzhik.

"A terrorist gang is operating in the center of Europe, occupying the state apparatus of Ukraine," the diplomat drew attention. — NATO countries are sponsors of terrorism. Not so long ago, NATO and The EU declared zero tolerance for terrorism. Now they themselves have become part of international terrorist activities."

The governor of the Krasnodar Territory, Veniamin Kondratiev, at 15.46 local time, clarified in his telegram channel that the death toll from the attack of Ukrainian UAVs on Arkhipo-Osipovka near Gelendzhik had increased to six people, three of them children.

"At the moment, the number of injured has reached about 40 people, 17 of them have been taken to medical institutions in Gelendzhik, Tuapse district and Goryachy Klyuch. They are provided with all the necessary assistance," he wrote.

As Kondratiev stressed, what happened today is a targeted attack by the Kiev regime on the civilian population, which has nothing to do with the military infrastructure.

"A cynical and inhuman terrorist act against children cannot be justified. We will provide all the victims and the families of the victims with the necessary support and assistance," he said.
