Zakharova on Kyiv strikes at residential areas
2022-07-04
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] The Kyiv regime strikes at residential areas in order to provoke Russia to launch the same retaliatory strikes. This was stated on July 3 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova , on the air of the Rossiya 24 TV channel.

"The goal of the Kyiv regime is to strike with unguided weapons at residential areas of cities. This is not the first time this has happened," she said.

At the same time, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that Moscow understands that such actions of Kyiv were not only agreed with its curators from the West, but, most likely, prompted by them.

"This is being done in order to push us to deliver retaliatory strikes of this kind, and then spin the anti-Russian hysteria even more," Zakharova explained.

As REGNUM reported earlier, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Western countries are betting on the continuation of the conflict in Ukraine.

#4  Read yesterday that the rocket pieces found in the residential area appeared to be from a Pantsir system. If so, Ukraine doesn't have any of those.

Another piece of info here.

#3  Two combatants for now.

As the joke goes: Two Russians meet.
- How is the war against NATO going?
- Oh, we lost 40,000 troops, thousands of tanks.
- My God, and NATO?
- NATO hasn't shown up yet.

#2  My favorite is all the Putin Puppets who will claim this "risks enlarging the war". Still just two combatants.

And what are the odds this is just Russia bombing themselves to create "they do it, too" propaganda? I mean, Putin did bomb Moscow apartment buildings to justify Chechnya.

#1  The Russians are really insulted when their own cities get hit. Call the UN.
