"On the night of July 31, the Russian Armed Forces, fulfilling tasks for the "demilitarization" of Ukraine, indeed launched strikes with high-precision long-range weapons, as well as long-range UAVs of this country, including a military airfield, ammunition depots, and components for UAV production. All military targets were hit," Polyansky said.
He cynically added that all military targets in Kyiv were hit, while "Ukraine placed air defense in residential areas," and the Russian army "acted within the UN Charter."
