The road of terror: what the Ukrainian Armed Forces militants who attacked a bus with children near Bryansk were trying to achieve

Moscow is confident that the Ukrainians deliberately hit civilian transport, and their next crime in the West will again prefer not to notice.

Ukrainian Armed Forces militants attacked a bus carrying a children's football team from Gomel to Gelendzhik on June 17. The Investigative Committee of Russia has opened a criminal case on a terrorist act after the strike, and Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered urgent assistance to all those affected. The course of investigations, which were also launched in Belarus, is under the personal control of the leader of the republic, Alexander Lukashenko.

Russia's Acting Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Anna Evstigneeva, said on June 29 that the Russian side demands that UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres unequivocally condemn the crimes of the Kiev regime. In addition, she expressed disappointment at the lack of courage and integrity regarding the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attack on the bus at the UN secretariat.
