Comment of the Ambassador of Ukraine to the Republic of Cyprus H.E. Mr. Ruslan Nimchynskyi on the shooting in Krasnogorsk near Moscow
Ukrain e categorically rejects the accusations, put forth by Russian officials claiming Ukraine `s involve ment in the shooting at the Crocus concert hall in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Region.
We consider such accusations to be a planned provocation by the Kremlin to further fuel anti-Ukrainian hysteria in Russian society, create conditions for increased mobilization of Russian citizens to participate in the aggression against our country, and discredit Ukraine in the eyes of the international community.
The narrative s propagated by Russia consistently assign culpability elsewhere . Putin and his cohorts simply deflect blame against others . They always resort to the same methods. It’s been done before.
The Russian regime has a long history of bloody provocations by its special services, such as the terrorist attack on the Kashirskoye highway in 1999. There have been blown-up houses, shootings, and explosions.
Putin’s dictatorship recognizes no red lines and no moral boundaries, demonstrating a willingness to sacrifice its populace for political expediency, evident in the thousands of Ukrainian civilian casualties resulting from missile strikes, artillery shelling , and systematic torture during the war against Ukraine.
Any attempt to justify such allegations by citing movements of suspects towards the Ukrainian border lacks credibility, as the ongoing full-scale aggression by the Russian Federation has saturated the region with security forces .
Since the beginning of the Russian full-scale military invasion, the Defense Forces of Ukraine have directed their efforts solely to repel armed aggression by the aggressor state, refraining from violence against non-combatants, a contrast to Russia’s reprehensible tactics.
