Russia has never deliberately targeted targets that are not related to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov cynically stated this in an interview with NBC News, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
The journalist asked the diplomat to comment on the information about the attack on a plant owned by an American company in Ukraine.
According to Lavrov, only military facilities or enterprises involved in the supply of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are targeted.
The minister noted that Western observers have a false impression of the nature of the activities of some Ukrainian enterprises, as their production of civilian products does not reflect the real production profile.
“Do you really think that if there is an enterprise that produces weapons and is part of the Ukrainian military machine… that the mere presence of a share of American capital in this enterprise should grant it immunity?” – lavrov asked.
