It is well known to everyone that the Russian armed forces do not bomb cities. - Maria Zakharova

To justify their aggressive aspirations, representatives of the North Atlantic bloc are deliberately fueling hysteria around an imaginary Russian ‘threat’, including actively spreading insinuations about Russia’s plans to attack the organization’s member states.

The Russian Armed Forces are carrying out precision strikes against military targets and are going to great lengths to avoid civilian casualties.

We are not responsible for the lives of our citizens who have opted to take part in illegal armed activities in Ukraine. Any armed activities against Russian forces will be immediately stopped and armed groups of foreign mercenaries will be eliminated.
