According to Mizintsev, provocations are carried out to spread anti-Russian sentiment among the city's residents.
“So, on July 14, 2022, the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, located at the railway station of Slavyansk, attacked the territory of the central market,” he said.
He added that a few minutes after the shelling, Ukrainian media reporters arrived to record the consequences of allegedly indiscriminate strikes by Russian troops on the civilian population.
Earlier, the Ministry of Defense informed that Ukrainian militants mined a bridge across the Volcha River in the Dnipropetrovsk region, which they plan to blow up in order to accuse Russian troops of indiscriminate strikes on transport infrastructure facilities.
