Moscow on Monday declared that During the attacks on Ukraine, the Russian army focuses solely on military targets and accused Ukraine of using civilians as a “human shield” in connection with the attack on the city. Russia also warned Germany to supply Taurus missiles to Ukraine, TASR reports according to AFP report.
“Our army only affects military goals and objectives related to the army,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry said on Monday Peskov. Russia is facing criticism of several leaders after a Sunday attack on the Ukrainian city, including US President Donald Trump. The incident claimed at least 34 victims, including two children.
The Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday that The army detonated two Iskander missiles “to the meeting place (Ukrainian) of the command staff” in the city of sums and confirmed the statements of Peskov. According to the ministry, 60 Ukrainian soldiers died in the attack. “The Kiev regime continues to use the Ukrainian population as a human shield, places military buildings and organizes events with the participation of soldiers in the center of densely populated towns,” the ministry said.
Despite Trump’s criticism of this attack, Peskov again appreciated Friday’s negotiations between Putin and Witkoff on the topic of more than three -year conflict with Kiev. He described the talks as “extremely useful and very effective”. According to him, they represent the “necessary channel” through which Putin and Trump could hand over to each other.
The Kremlin warned Berlin on Monday about the supply of Taurus missiles, designed on Sunday by the next German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. According to Peskov, this step would “lead to further escalation of the situation in Ukraine”.
Taurus missiles can hit up to 500 kilometers away and Germany has developed them together with Sweden, explains AFP. “Unfortunately, European capitals are not really inclined to find ways to achieve peace conversations, they are rather inclined to continue the war,” He added Peskov.
