> Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik told TASS that Ukraine’s military strategy amounts to creating a humanitarian disaster at the EU’s expense. He said deliberate efforts to provoke a humanitarian crisis were visible in Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, parts of the DPR and LPR, and some areas of Belgorod Region, while accusing the West and Europe of sponsoring defense-industry technologies.
