Spokesperson Peskov said that Ukraine struck Russian civilian facilities with missiles supplied by the West. Regarding Ukraine's airstrike on Belgorod, a Russian border region, on December 30 last year, he said, "It was possible because the Ukrainian regime did not hesitate to attack urban areas with cluster munitions targeting civilians," adding, "Our military will do everything to minimize and completely eliminate the risk."
