Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN), Anna Yevstigneyeva, accused Europe of being the main sponsor of the ongoing war in Ukraine during her speech at the UN Security Council.
"The billions of dollars transferred to the conflict in Ukraine reveal Europe's true face. Europe is not a mediator but the main sponsor of the continuation of the war," Yevstigneyeva said.
Bryansk Region Governor Yegor Kovalchuk announced on June 17 that an unmanned aerial vehicle belonging to the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked a bus carrying a children's football team traveling on vacation from Belarus's Gomel region to Gelendzhik. One woman was killed and eight people, including six children, were injured in the attack.
