Russia denies shelling Kyiv on Tuesday, blaming Ukraine itself for documented damage
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said Wednesday that Russia carried out high-precision strikes on Ukraine’s military administration system and related energy targets on Tuesday, but claimed it did not hit Kyiv.
According to Konashenkov, “all of the missiles that were launched reached their intended targets.”
All of the destruction in residential areas of the Ukrainian capital that was shown by the Kyiv regime is the direct consequence of the impact and self-destruction of anti-aircraft missiles launched by Ukrainian troops from Ukrainian and foreign air defense complexes located within the city.
Konashenkov also said he wanted to emphasize that Russia only launched strikes on targets that were “no closer than 35 kilometers from the Ukraine-Poland border.”
