Explosions in Kiev and Kharkov cannot be considered as Russia’s response to strikes on Donbass, as Russian forces do not target civilian objects, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, an air raid alert went off throughout Ukraine. Media reported a series of explosions in Kiev and the Dnepropetrovsk region. Explosions occurred in Kharkov and the city of Shostka in the Sumy region of Ukraine. Later, the mayor of Kharkov confirmed information about a series of explosions in the city.
“No, we cannot. We continue our special military operation, and our military does not hit social facilities and residential areas and does not hit civilians, unlike the Kiev regime."
