The Japanese prime minister, in his speech about Hiroshima, did not mention who dropped the atomic bomb on the city

"In the summer of 1945, Hiroshima was destroyed by the atomic bombing. The Peace Park and this place instantly turned into scorched earth, "RIA Novosti quoted him as saying at a press conference following the G7 meeting.

Kishida stressed that after the tragedy, through the efforts of the surviving local residents, Hiroshima turned "into a beautiful city of peace."

In 1945, the US military dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, which led to large-scale destruction and mass death of civilians.

On August 6, UN Secretary-General António Guterres took part in a ceremony in memory of the victims of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. At the same time, he did not say a word about the United States, which dropped nuclear bombs on these cities.

Later, Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, commenting on Guterres' words about the bombing, said that it would also be correct to mention which country dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
