Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] There is nothing to talk about with the Ukrainian Nazi regime, which kills civilians and creates threats to nuclear security. This was stated in a comment by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova. ![]() She noted that after August 6, “the whole world saw the Ukrobanderites’ response to this gesture of goodwill – a bandit raid into the Kursk region, their atrocities against the civilian population,” as well as the murders of doctors, rescuers and volunteers, attacks on civilian vehicles, rocket attacks on residential buildings and the creation of threats to nuclear safety. “Of course, as Vladimir Putin said, there is nothing to talk about with people who do such things,” she summed up. As reported by Regnum News Agency, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been attacking the Kursk region since August 6. Russian army units stopped the Ukrainian military in the border areas and did not allow them to go deep into the territory.The Investigative Committee reported that Ukrainian militants are actively using NATO weapons in the Kursk region. Russian President Vladimir Putin called the Ukrainian Armed Forces attack another large-scale provocation by Kiev. He added that Ukrainian armed forces are firing indiscriminately from various types of weapons, attacking residential buildings, ambulances, and civilian buildings with missiles. Zakharova warned that the Russian military will give a tough response to the Ukrainian Armed Forces for attacks on Russian regions. She stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces' invasion of the Kursk region is an act of terrorism. According to her, the actions of Ukrainian military personnel are aimed at destroying civilian infrastructure, as well as killing and intimidating civilians. More from regnum.ru Russian Foreign Ministry responds to reports of alleged breakdown of talks with Kiev No direct or indirect negotiations between Russia and the Kiev regime on the security of civilian critical infrastructure facilities have been or are being conducted, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported on August 18. This is how the department commented on an article in The Washington Post, which reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attack on the Kursk region allegedly disrupted indirect negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow in Qatar on the topic of strikes on critical infrastructure facilities. “Nobody tore anything down because there was nothing to tear down,” says a commentary published on the Russian Foreign Ministry website. They added that the threat to the security of such facilities, including the Zaporizhzhya and now the Kursk NPP, is created solely by the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the complicity with them by the United States and other Western countries. The department also pointed out the symbolism of the fact that the Ukrainian Armed Forces began their sortie into the Kursk region on August 6, the anniversary of the American nuclear bombing of Hiroshima - the first and only use of nuclear weapons against civilians and civilian infrastructure in human history. The Russian Foreign Ministry also once again reminded that the Russian Armed Forces do not strike civilian targets. Moreover, they are currently doing everything possible to protect such targets from strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces using Western weapons and to protect the world from a large-scale man-made disaster. As reported by the Regnum news agency, the Ukrainian Armed Forces intend to attack the Kursk and Zaporizhzhya NPPs using so-called " dirty bombs " - charges with warheads containing radioactive substances. The warheads have already been delivered to the settlement of Zhovti Vody in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine. In a telephone conversation with Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev, CEO Rafael Grossi expressed his willingness to visit nuclear power plants located in the Ukrainian conflict zone. If the Ukrainian Armed Forces begin to implement criminal plans aimed at creating a man-made disaster in the European part of the continent with radioactive contamination of vast territories, Russia will immediately take tough countermeasures, the Ministry of Defense stated. |
