Nebenzia said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to carry out attacks on crowded places during rush hour.

This, the permanent representative stressed, leads to heavy civilian casualties and destruction.

“We regret that the officials of the UN Secretariat did not have the courage to condemn the shelling of Donetsk, although they constantly speak out about attacks on Ukrainian territory,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

The Russian Permanent Representative also noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are making attempts to literally raze Donetsk to the ground with the help of weapons supplied by Western countries.
