MOSCOW (Sputnik) - All those responsible and involved in Kiev's attack on a market in city of Alyoshki in the Kherson Region will be identified and punished by the law, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.
"All those responsible and involved in the current barbaric attack in Kiev will be identified and will be irrevocably punished by law. We call on the entire sane part of the international community and relevant multilateral organizations to strongly condemn this heinous terrorist attack," the ministry said in a statement.
This attack on Alyoshki was deliberately carried out on a holiday, the ministry said.
"There is another bloody war crime committed by the Ukrainian Nazis against the civilian Russian population. It is obvious that the attack was deliberately carried out on a holiday when the residents of the city went shopping to maximize the number of victims and injured civilians. This atrocity has once again revealed the terrorist nature of the Kiev regime, the focus of the current Ukrainian authorities solely on escalating the armed confrontation and disrupting any attempts at a peaceful settlement. The complete incompetence of the neo-Bandera clique was revealed again," the ministry said.
The ministry stated that the deadly attack on the market in Alyoshki weighs on the consciousness of those supplying Ukraine with weapons and finances.
Earlier in the day, the governor of the Russian-controlled part of the Kherson Region, Vladimir Saldo, said that Ukrainian troops attacked the market in Oleshky at 06:30 GMT. Sergey Cherevko, deputy chairman of the regional government, told Sputnik that one person was killed and 11 injured during the shelling of the market.
Cherevko later told Sputnik that one more civilian, wounded as a result of the attack of the Ukrainian armed forces, had died in hospital.
