Ukrainian Attacks Killed 21 Russian Civilians Over One Week

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Twenty-one civilians have been killed in Russia in Ukrainian attacks in the week starting February 9, Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large on the Ukrainian regime's crimes Rodion Miroshnik told Sputnik.

"Over the past week, Ukrainian Nazis' shelling resulted in 147 civilian casualties: 126 were wounded, including six minors, and 21 others were killed," Miroshnik said.

Ukrainian forces fired at least 2,563 rounds at civilian targets across Russian territory in the past seven days, he estimated.

The Ukrainian regime has ramped up drone, artillery and missile strikes on civilian targets in the Belgorod, Kherson, Zaporozhye regions and the Lugansk People's Republic, the ambassador said. The four regions recorded the highest civilian casualties.
