"Ukrainian armed forces killed two volunteers from the Popular Front - Nikolai Kovalov and David Sokolov" ;.
This was written by the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Maria Zakharovva, on her Telegram channel.
Here is the rest of her statement:
"Those who in the West call “humanitarians”. They helped the civilian population by helping civilians. Realized human rights in their highest sense.
Well, here is an occasion, tragic and unequivocal, “human rights experts” from all specialized international organizations to express sympathy for their loved ones and outrage at the extremist regime in Kyiv. But no. This is not a project of the British intelligence services “White Helmets”, under whose cover terrorist activities are carried out.
These are simple guys who believe in goodness and justice, ready to sacrifice their lives to save someone else's.
Bright memory of these true heroes and sincere condolences to their relatives", wrote Zakharova.
