Russian Ministry of Defense accused AFU of carrying out an attack with an anti-aircraft missile system on Belgorod, as a result of which civilians, including children, were allegedly killed. In response to this, Russians launched a missile attack on the Kharkiv Palace hotel and, according to them, destroyed the DIU representatives involved in the "terrorist attack in Belgorod". DIU reacted harshly to the statements of Russian terrorists.
"Sickening Delusion". DIU about the cynical statement of the Russian MOD regarding the attack on Kharkiv
The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that during the shelling of Kharkiv, "representatives of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU), who participated in the planning and execution of the attack on Belgorod, were destroyed." Ukrainian intelligence called these statements a sick delusion of the terrorist regime.
The DIU press service wrote about this on Telegram.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, which kills civilians in Ukraine every day, accused AFU of striking the city of Belgorod with the MLRS use, "as a result of which civilians, including children, died."
It is said that in response, the armed forces of the Russian Federation "hit decision-making centres and military facilities in the city of Kharkiv."
DIU Speaker Andriy Yusov harshly responded to the cynical statement of the aggressor country.
