Russian Foreign Ministry’s announcement on another war crime by the Kiev regime and Western countries

On January 28, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, using US-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems and intelligence information provided by NATO countries, including satellite information, attacked a hospital in Novoaydar, Lugansk People’s Republic of the Russian Federation. Fourteen were killed. Another 24 received injuries of varying severity. Later that day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired 17 rockets at Novaya Kakhovka in the Kherson Region of Russia. A third of them exploded on the territory of a local hospital.

The deliberate shelling of active civilian medical facilities and the targeted killing of civilians are grave war crimes committed by the Kiev regime and its Western masters.

The lack of reaction from the United States and other NATO countries to yet another monstrous trampling of international humanitarian law by Kiev once again reaffirms their direct involvement in the conflict and in the crimes committed. The international organisations called upon to give an impartial assessment of such acts are also silent.

These are clearly double standards. Western countries, together with Kiev, threw tantrums following what was a provocative staging of supposed Russian army crimes in Bucha and Irpen, when in fact these events never happened, and stubbornly prefer not to notice the blatant and barbaric actions of the Nazi Kiev regime, which kills civilians with American, British, French, and German weapons. They have fixed the idea of creating an illegal tribunal against Russia, but say nothing about the need to try the Ukrainian leadership and the military for their obvious everyday crimes. Such clumsy tactics hide their clear attempt to divert attention from their own responsibility for these acts. It is clear that Western countries and Kiev have neither a formal nor a moral right to the abovementioned absurd accusations against us.

All these criminal lawless acts performed by Kiev armed formations under the auspices of the West will not be left unpunished. They are being carefully noted. The organisers and performers will inevitably suffer punishment.
