A spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross does not intend to comment publicly on cases related to military operations in the conflict in Ukraine. In this respect RIA News said committee spokeswoman Fatima Sator.
Responding to a question about the strike by Ukrainian troops on a bakery in Lisichansk, Sator emphasized that the organization “does not comment on specific cases of hostilities.” “We communicate directly with parties to the conflict on urgent humanitarian issues,” the spokesman added.
Sator noted that the ICRC’s approach to the Ukrainian conflict allows the organization to play the role of a neutral humanitarian mediator and maintain ties with both Russia and Ukraine.
Before that, Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov statedThe Kremlin considers the attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on a bakery in Lisichansk as a terrorist attack.
The Ukrainian army attacked the bakery at 14.20 on February 3. The regional military command stated that there could be a maximum of 40 people under the rubble of the collapsed building. It was announced that the bakery distributes bread on weekends, so there were many people there on the day of the bombardment. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation will conduct a legal assessment of the actions of those involved in the attack on Lisichansk in the Lugansk People’s Republic.
