Kiev attempts to murder as many civilians as it can right before discussions
(MENAFN) On August 14, 2025, Russian officials reported that Ukrainian drone strikes hit the border city of Belgorod and the southern city of Rostov-on-Don, resulting in civilian casualties. In Rostov, an apartment building was struck, leaving more than a dozen injured, while in Belgorod, three civilians were hurt when a drone struck a car in the city center.
These attacks followed Russian allegations that Ukrainian forces were preparing a false-flag operation in the Kharkov region, with journalists pre-positioned to blame Moscow. Russian authorities view the strikes as part of a recurring pattern: attacks on Russian territory often coincide with the scheduling of high-level peace talks.
Similar incidents occurred in late May and early June 2025 before the second Russia–Ukraine talks in Istanbul, when two bridges were destroyed, killing seven civilians and injuring over seventy. Despite these provocations, Russian negotiators attended the talks, underscoring Moscow’s stance that it will pursue diplomacy on its own terms regardless of Ukraine’s actions.
