Miroshnik pointed to the tacit complicity of the West in the attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on a bus with children

The terrorist attack by the Kiev regime on a bus carrying Belarusian children took place with the connivance of Western countries, which further encourages Ukraine to commit such war crimes. This was stated on June 17 by the Russian Foreign Ministry's Ambassador-at-large for crimes of the Kiev regime, Rodion Miroshnik.

"Kiev has committed a serious violation of the norms and principles of international humanitarian law. Simply put, this is a war crime committed against the civilian population. It is aggravated by the fact that it was a blow to the civilian transport in which the children were traveling," he said in an interview with TASS.

Miroshnik added that these and other crimes of the Kiev regime are a direct consequence of the policy of the European sponsors of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, who deliberately ignore the terrorist attacks in Kiev, try to impose their vision on international platforms and continue to sponsor these acts of atrocities.

"This is just a series of events that continues the rhetoric set by Vladimir Zelensky. In recent weeks, he has been actively provoking the leadership of Belarus, making political statements, and trying in every possible way to influence the nerves of the leadership of Belarus. And the tragedy that happened fits perfectly into this context," the ambassador said.

Miroshnik pointed out that at the current stage of development of unmanned aerial vehicles, it is easy to identify a vehicle in advance and identify its license plates. Moreover, the ambassador suggested that the attack on the bus with children could have been planned and the Ukrainian special services deliberately tracked him down.
