Ukraine: Four killed, over 30 injured after Russian missile strike in Lviv, says Kyiv
According to officials, this is the biggest attack on the western Ukrainian city since the crisis began more than 16 months ago.
Russia today denied allegations that its forces were responsible for killing civilians in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha recently, saying the massacre was a cynical false flag operation perpetrated by the regime in Ukraine.
”The heinous attack in Bucha brings back the nightmares of the Nazi crimes during the Second World War. It raised revulsion and condemnation in Russia and India and globally,” a statement from the Russian Embassy in India said.
It said Russia firmly stood for bringing to justice those involved in this outrageous war crime act.
”The main challenge is to ensure a genuinely independent and unbiased investigation. Regrettably, there have been so far widespread hollow allegations against Moscow while there’s evidence that it was in fact a cynical false flag operation, perpetrated by Kyiv itself. It is vitally important to take this evidence into account as we seek justice,” the statement added.
