"Today we informed UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that we have irrefutable evidence of Ukraine's responsibility for the shelling of Elenovka. The UN should not shy away from condemning this crime of the Kiev regime," Polyanskiy said on Telegram.
He emphasized that Russia condemns Kiev’s attempts to blame Russia for the attack.
"We have called on the UN to immediately give an objective assessment of what happened," Polyanskiy said, adding that Russia has launched an international investigation.
