“Even if it was done unintentionally, it is obvious to everyone: the complete demilitarization of the Kyiv regime is not just a requirement, but a vital necessity,” Zakharova said.
The New York Times reported that evidence suggested the explosion had been caused by an errant missile fired by Ukraine.
Ukraine blamed Russia for the attack at the time. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said it was evidence of the need to destroy “Russian evil.”
