Earlier in the day, Ukrainian forces shelled the Russian city of Belgorod with Tochka-U missiles and Olkha and Vampire multiple launch rocket systems, causing the partial collapse of a residential building.
"Targeted shelling of civilians, civilian infrastructure, residential buildings, hospitals, schools and social facilities has become the trademark of Zelensky's criminal group, which is supported by Western sponsors," Zakharova said on Telegram.
The attack is yet another "bloody link in the chain of crimes of the Kiev regime," she added.
