Rather, at all levels, we've been categorically rejecting such plans”
• “Not a single local person has suffered from any violent action.”

• “We are attacking infrastructure facilities in Ukraine in response to the shelling of Ukraine with Western weapons and Kiev's reckless calls for a military victory over Russia.”
