The Ministry of Foreign Affairs published a corresponding post on the social media platform X, according to Ukrinform.
“The Russian Federation calls the deaths and injuries of dozens of civilians in Kyiv following one of the largest Russian attacks far behind the front lines ‘retaliation.’ Retaliation for what, Mr. Lavrov? For the military invasion of a neighboring country that has not ‘given its consent’ to this for five years? The darkest place in hell is reserved for those who plan, order, and even justify such attacks,” the post reads.
Earlier, Czech President Petr Pavel expressed his condemnation, writing that Russian aggression had once again revealed its true nature.

I condemn this attack on civilian targets. I support further steps to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense and appreciate that the government’s mandate for the NATO summit in Ankara also includes continued support for Ukraine,” the head of state wrote.
As reported, on July 2, Russian troops launched a massive attack on Kyiv using drones and missiles. Damage was reported in all districts of the city. Twenty-seven people were killed.
