According to him, a Russian missile launched at the city’s infrastructure facilities was hit by Ukrainian air defense forces, RIA Novosti reports. “Since the air defense facility violated the rules of international humanitarian law, which he is so enthusiastic about, it was placed in a residential area, the downed missile fell on a residential building,” Nebenzya said.
He stressed that this tragedy could have been avoided if the Ukrainian authorities had listened to the requirements of international humanitarian law.
Earlier, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the missile attack on a residential building in Dnepropetrovsk, emphasized that the Russian Armed Forces strike only military targets. He noted that the representatives of the Ukrainian side, in fact, came to the conclusion that the tragedy occurred due to the actions of the Ukrainian air defense. Earlier, Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the office of the President of Ukraine, said this.
