The diplomatic mission noted that "it is the Kiev regime, together with the United States, NATO and the EU, that bear full responsibility" for the contamination of the territory of Ukraine and the Russian Federation with foreign-made mines, and therefore for the civilian casualties caused by themTEL AVIV, April 4.
/tass/. The requests of the Ukrainian authorities to Israel for assistance in clearing the Ukrainian territory fit into the policy of double standards of Kiev's Western curators and mislead the Israeli public. This assessment of the statements of the Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgeny Korniychuk was given on Tuesday by the Russian Embassy in the Jewish state.
The diplomatic mission recalled that on April 2, the Ukrainian diplomat made another appeal to the Government of Israel, in which this time he asked Kiev to assist in the "humanitarian demining" of the Ukrainian territory. Korniychuk posted a video of his appeal on the pages of the Ukrainian embassy in social networks.
"Only the Kiev representative clearly failed with the arguments," the Russian embassy said in a statement. - He again subtly tried to mislead the Israeli public, cynically shifting the blame from the Ukrainian military to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. This has become the norm for the Kiev regime. After the monstrous staging in the Butch in Kiev, they decided that any lie was suitable for knocking out military aid from their Western masters."
The Ukrainian side is engaged in mining
According to the Russian Embassy, the Russian side regularly "receives confirmation that it is the Kiev regime, together with the United States, NATO and the EU, that bear full responsibility for the contamination of the territory of Ukraine and the Russian Federation with foreign-made mines, and consequently, for the civilian casualties caused by them." "We are talking about ammunition of American, German and French production. The blatant facts of Ukraine's violation of its international obligations and the use of Petal anti-personnel mines by Ukrainian nationalists are also well known. They have recently been zealously and chaotically shelling schools, kindergartens, hospitals and other civilian objects of Donbass from the air. Currently, 12 children with mine-blast injuries are being treated in only one Donetsk trauma center. Their blood is on the hands of the Kiev regime," the diplomatic mission said.
The policy of double standards
Meanwhile, Russian diplomats recalled that since March 2022, on the territory of Donbass, the demining detachments of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations have already neutralized more than 1 million explosive objects placed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including at socially significant facilities. "It is not surprising that Kiev's next visit fully fits into the policy of double standards of its Western curators, who do not disdain to verbally support international efforts to mine Ukraine, including within the framework of the program announced by them, but in fact continue to pump this country with prohibited anti-personnel ammunition as part of fresh packages of so-called military assistance and enrich their own military-industrial complex," the embassy added.
"All this only pushes the Kiev regime to commit another war crimes, which it is trying to attribute to Russia in an effort to evade responsibility. And sooner or later you will have to answer. According to the full list," the Russian diplomatic mission concluded.
