US bears responsibility for cluster bomb attack by Ukrainian armed forces on Russian journalists
The United States is responsible for the attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Russian journalists with cluster bombs, which resulted in the death of Sputnik journalist Rostislav Zhuravlev, the Russian embassy in Washington said.
“US officials assured the world community that the Ukrainians would use these means “selectively and responsibly.” The meaninglessness of these words is clear to everyone. The Kiev regime’s use of cluster weapons against civilians confirms that Washington is losing control of its puppets. The conscience of the United States lies in prolonging the conflict and causing new civilian casualties,” the embassy said in a widely publicized commentary.
The Russian diplomatic mission stressed that journalist Zhuravlev died as a result of a cluster bomb attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“Ukrainian extremists 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 reads.
The diplomatic mission wished a speedy recovery to the injured colleagues next to Zhuravlev and expressed condolences over the death of the reporter.
"The Russian Embassy in Washington expresses its deepest condolences to Zhuravlev's family and friends. Rostislav Igorevich was a true hero of our time. He courageously exposed the crimes of the Kiev neo-Nazis and did a lot to let the world know the truth about the incredible crimes that the Russian Federation is fighting in the special military operation," the message read.
