Moscow judges the West “responsible” alongside kyiv and promises “answer” those responsible for this attack. The Russian Foreign Ministry described, on Saturday July 22, as “heinous crime” premeditated the death in a Ukrainian bombardment of a Russian journalist from the Ria Novosti news agency. Rostislav Jouravlev was killed and several others injured in a Ukrainian shelling in the Zaporizhia region of southern Ukraine.
“Everything indicates that the attack on the group of journalists was not carried out by chance”, Russian diplomacy said in a statement. According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, “Journalists were gathering material for a report on the bombardment by Kiev regime militants of settlements in the Zaporizhia region with cluster munitions banned in many countries of the world”.
“An explosion of submunitions” at the origin of the death
“We have no illusions that the competent international organizations will prefer, as before in such cases, to turn a blind eye”added the Russian diplomacy.
“During the evacuation, Rostislav Jouravlev (…) died of his injuries, following an explosion of submunitions”added the Russian army, according to which the state of health of the three other injured journalists is “steady”. The Ria Novosti press agency ensures that “the shelling took place near the village of Pyatikhatky”in the Zaporizhia region.
