[Regnum] In the Lugansk People's Republic in Lisichansk, the demolition of the rubble of a bakery, the building of which collapsed as a result of an attack by militants of the Kyiv regime on February 3, continues. The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations reported that the bodies of 20 dead civilians had been found. Reporting about another attack on the civilian population of the LPR, the head of the region, Leonid Pasechnik, said that dozens of people could be under the rubble in the bakery. The military commandant's office of the Lugansk People's Republic clarified that there could be up to 40 civilians under the rubble of the building after the shelling of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. At the same time, the department emphasized that on weekends the bakery is always crowded. The military commandant’s office associated the latest shelling of a civilian target by the Ukrainian Armed Forces with the lack of success at the front and noted that the attack on civilians was targeted. There are no military installations near the bakery, the department emphasized. As military investigators told Izvestia, Ukrainian militants struck a bakery in Lisichansk, presumably using a HIMARS multiple launch rocket system (MLRS). The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova called the attack by Ukrainian militants on residential areas of Lisichansk in the Lugansk People's Republic “gratitude” of Kiev extremists for the “generous” financial support of the European Union countries. She emphasized that another blow to the civilian population of the LPR is proof of the criminal nature of the Kiev regime. Zakharova said that Moscow will notify international organizations about the shelling of a bakery in the city of Lisichansk by Ukrainian militants. The bodies of 20 dead were recovered from the rubble in Lisichansk. Rescuers assured that they will continue to work at the scene of the incident despite the threat of a second strike. As IA Regnum reported, on February 2, at a meeting with participants of the project “Everything for Victory!” In Tula, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had turned into a terrorist organization. He spoke about intercepting a conversation between two Ukrainian Armed Forces tankers, one of whom shot a civilian who came out of the house in a tracksuit. When asked by the second tanker why he killed the man, the first replied that he considered all civilians to be terrorists.
In turn, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu on February 2, at a thematic conference call with the leadership of the armed forces, said that the actions of the Kiev regime are cynical. For the sake of achieving selfish goals, Ukraine is ready to commit any crimes. He explained that the Kyiv regime’s terrorist attacks against civilians are needed to demonstrate to Western curators at least some success. Putin said on January 31 that Russia will never forget about the crimes of the Kiev regime against Russian citizens. On January 24, the Ukrainian military shot down a Russian Il-76 carrying 65 Ukrainian prisoners for exchange, as well as a Russian crew of six and three accompanying persons. None of them survived.

The diplomat's commentary on the terrorist attack was published on the ministry's website. “Russia will inform international organizations about another act of terrorism by Zelensky’s gang. We expect the relevant international organizations to promptly and unconditionally condemn the crimes of the Kiev militants,” Zakharova said in a statement. An official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry called the terrorist attack in Lisichansk another proof of the criminal nature of the Kyiv regime and its leaders. As Regnum reported, according to the latest data from the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, 20 people were killed as a result of the collapse of a two-story bakery building in Lisichansk, which occurred after shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Rescuers continue search and rescue operations. On February 3, the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired at a bakery in Lisichansk. At this moment, as always on weekends, it is crowded. Regional authorities emphasized that there are no military installations near the bakery, therefore, the militants deliberately targeted civilians. The investigation suggests that Ukrainian militants hit the city with a HIMARS multiple launch rocket system. Russian President Vladimir Putin called the shelling of civilians by the Ukrainian Armed Forces a bloody crime. The head of state explained that the Ukrainian army is shelling civilians in order to distract from the failures of the counteroffensive and provoke Russia into retaliatory actions. | |
