A Russian official on Saturday blamed the United Kingdom and the United States, both members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), for Ukrainian airstrikes on the Russian provincial capital of Belgorod, calling it a “terror attack.”
Moscow said that 14 people, including two children, have been killed and over 100 more are injured in Belgorod after Kyiv launched strikes on the region, which neighbors northern Ukraine.
“Today, the Kyiv regime attempted an indiscriminate combined strike on the city of Belgorod with two ‘Olkha’ missiles in a banned cluster configuration, as well as Czech-made Vampire rockets,” the Russian defense ministry wrote in a Telegram post. “This crime will not go unpunished.”
Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Russian state news agency Tass that the U.K. incited the strikes that Ukraine carried out on Saturday “in coordination” with the U.S.
“Great Britain is behind the terror attack, as it, in coordination with the United States, is inciting the Kiev regime to terrorist actions as it understands that Ukraine’s counteroffensive has failed,” Zakharova alleged. “London, as the Ukrainian presidential office representatives have recently said, has banned the Kiev regime from holding talks with the Russia side, staking on a ‘victory on the battlefield.'”
She added: “With not a single chance to improve the Ukrainian army’s deplorable situation ‘on the ground,’ the Anglo-Saxons have taken on the tactic of terror attacks on civilians.”
Zakharova also blamed other European countries for supplying Ukraine with weapons in the ongoing war.
“Responsibility for the terror attack rests on EU [European Union] states, which continue to supply weapons to Kiev’s terrorists who are using cluster munitions against civilians,” she said.
The EU and the U.S. have been the biggest contributors of military aid to Ukraine in its war against Russia after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his invasion of the Eastern European nation in February 2022.
Russia has requested a meeting of the United Nations Security Council, which Zakharova said would focus on the strikes on Belgorod.
Meanwhile, the Russian Embassy in the U.K. reiterated the claims made by Moscow’s foreign ministry on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday afternoon.
“MFA: British and American consultants were directly involved in organising the terrorist attack on residential areas in #Belgorod, regularly inciting the Ukrainian authorities to commit brutal crimes.
“The strike deliberately targeted places where civilians gather, particularly families with children. The Ukrainian criminals used cluster munitions to maximise the number of victims in their terrorist attack,” the post alleged. “The countries of the #EU, which persistently and irresponsibly continue to supply the Ukrainian ruling clique with weapons, are also responsible for this.”
The United Kingdom’s Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), White House or the U.S. State Department have yet to respond to Russia’s claims.
Newsweek reached out to Ukraine’s foreign ministry, the FCDO, and the White House via email. It also reached out to the Russian government via online form for comment.
Ukraine’s attack on Belgorod comes after Russia on Friday launched its largest missile attack of the war so far.
Moscow launched 158 missiles and drones into Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipro, Kharkiv, and Liviv. Ukrainian officials said that 39 people were killed and nearly 160 more were wounded.
A spokesperson for Ukraine’s air force said, “We’ve never seen so many targets hit simultaneously.” The air force added that it was able to intercept 114 missiles and drones launched by Russia.
President Joe Biden released a statement Friday, saying that the air attack was “a stark reminder to the world that, after nearly two years of this devastating war, Putin’s objective remains unchanged.”
“He must be stopped,” Biden added, who also urged Congress to pass additional aid for the war-torn country.

It can’t be long before Russia sinks a Nazi UK carrier with a hypersonic nuke.
Putin is the gatekeeper, but even he will be unable to hold back Russian anger, and it’s Nazi Britain who’s going to get it.
I will say this again. When Russia strikes a UK asset, they will tell the US: ‘Bring it on, if you’re fecking hard enough’. The US and broken NATO will do nothing to back up the Nazi UK. Britain is a bankrupt Nazi terrorist state, and most NATO members know this.
The US controls Trident, so there you go.

only evil, coward powers not seeing a chance
to win grasp for terror means . last convulsions
of the jewnazi dragonsnake + her byby .
The Jewess Zakharova with its bleached hair to fool the white dummies that she’s a white ‘Russian’.
What these various columnists/communists don’t tell you though is that both governments of Russia & Ukraine are infested with & ruled by Jews. They’re covertly coordinating this conflict & prolonging the war to wipe out as many whites as they can while demolishing Ukrainian society/culture.
The ‘the Biden administration’ haha, if you still believe that administration really exists, .. anyway, that ‘administration’ and the UK and their whipping boy NATO just lost it. I would not be surprised by some old fashioned assassinations occurring ..
Unfortunately, the UK and the USA are no longer run by Anglo-Saxons. The Jewish mafia is firmly in control of both governments.
Another schnozzer duping the dumb white gentiles.
Russia = ZOG
Ukraine = ZOG
NATO = ZOG
Look at that woman! Why on earth does the West want to kill beautiful women like that!
Nutzo!
I love all these pro-Commie ZOGRussia articles TTS publishes.
ken
She’s a Yid.
“This crime will not go unpunished.” If those Russians killed by Zionist tugs and their life have some value ,just give Hutties those capable weapons and see what they could do with it. Russians and Palestinians life is worthless comparing to the babies killer of Zionist state.
looks like only Hamas and hutties are willing to make the Zionist pay for its evil action.
Some stupid comments by those who ‘defend white’ while witnessing that most Zionist who implementing Talmud in the west and dying for dirty Jew are white. How do you defend the criminals? With out these stupid white in high positions and in the church and armies attacking and bombing those resistances the dirty Jew won’t able to chop the gentiles of white kids. You can’t save one who chose /love satanic way for extniction.
Compare the class of Maria Z. to the skanks you get fronting for ZOGUK…
