Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has confirmed that Moscow will persist in targeting Ukrainian military sites, despite international condemnation following recent attacks on civilian areas.
In an interview aired on Sunday, Lavrov emphasized that the Russian strikes are directed at military targets, including foreign mercenaries and military instructors operating in Ukraine.
"The situation at the front and the real activity of the Russian army prove that there is currently insufficient pressure on Russia from the world to end this war,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated in a Telegram post, after reporting that Russia had launched nearly 70 attacks on Sunday alone. The conflict in Ukraine remains dire, as Moscow’s missile strikes continue to wreak havoc, including a deadly attack on a residential building in Kyiv last week that killed at least 12 people.
Lavrov, in his remarks, insisted that the missile strike on the Kyiv residential building was not aimed at an "absolutely civilian" target. "We will continue to target the sites used by the military of Ukraine, by some mercenaries from foreign countries, and by instructors whom the Europeans officially sent to help target Russian civilian sites," he said in the taped CBS interview.
The missile strike, which marked an escalation in Russia's bombardment of Ukrainian cities, drew rare criticism from U.S. President Donald Trump, who publicly called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to "STOP" the attacks.
Lavrov also addressed the issue of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, stating that Russia had never received an offer to assist in its operation. Furthermore, he suggested that Russia could be open to storing Iran's enriched nuclear material, should both the United States and Iran agree that such an arrangement would be beneficial.
As the conflict continues, global pressure on Russia remains a key point of contention, with many calling for stronger international measures to curtail Moscow's military aggression and protect civilian lives in Ukraine.
