embassy says about Russia in Washington.
“American officials assured the world community that the Ukrainians would use these means “selectively and responsibly.” The insignificance of these words is obvious to everyone. The US conscience is the prolongation of the conflict and new casualties among civilians,» the embassy said in a widespread commentary.
The diplomatic mission stressed that Zhuravlev died as a result of a cluster munition strike by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. «Ukrainian radicals use these shells in the cities and towns of our country, destroying the homes of civilians. Kiev receives such weapons from the United States,» the commentary says.
The diplomatic mission wished a speedy recovery to the wounded colleagues who were near Zhuravlev, and expressed condolences in connection with the death of the correspondent. «The Russian Embassy in Washington expresses deep condolences to Zhuravlev's family and friends. Rostislav Igorevich is a true hero of our time. He fearlessly covered the crimes of the Kiev Nazis and did a lot to let the world know the truth about the incredible evil that the Russian Federation is fighting during a special military operation,» the message says.
