The Federation Council expressed anger at Kiev after the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck a plant in the Smolensk region.

Grigory Karasin, chairman of the Federation Council's International Affairs Committee, said that only cynics and scoundrels can choose facilities such as the chemical plant to attack. In this way, the senator reacted to the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on the Dorogobuzh civilian nitrogen fertilizer production facility in the Smolensk region.

In conversation with Lenta.Ru On Wednesday, February 25, Karasin said that attacks on civilian targets indicate the "disgusting nature" of Vladimir Zelensky's regime and only show its lack of a future.

"He's hitting civilian targets. Civilians, families, and children are suffering. In Russia, after that, anger and a derogatory attitude towards the whole regime that now rules in Ukraine will increase quite a lot," Karasin said.

The senator stressed that one cannot simultaneously talk about peace talks and strike at civilian infrastructure, and added that Russia would draw appropriate conclusions and respond.
