China has rebuked Russia over a missile attack at a funeral in Ukraine that killed 52 people.

Geng Shuang, China’s deputy UN ambassador, said Beijing finds the heavy civilian casualties in the attack on the village “concerning.”

At least 52 people were killed in Thursday’s strike by a Russian Iskander ballistic missile, which hit a memorial service. It is one of the biggest losses of life since the war in Ukraine began. 

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied last Friday that Russia was responsible for the Hroza attack.

Vassily Nebenzia, Russia’s UN ambassador, alleged that “neo-Nazis” and military-age men were at the wake, telling a UN Security Council meeting called by Ukraine that the soldier was “a high-ranking Ukrainian nationalist,” with “a lot of neo-Nazi accomplices attending.”

Zelensky arrives in Bucharest

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський

@ZelenskyyUa

I arrived in Bucharest, Romania, for talks with @KlausIohannis and to strengthen our good-neighborly relations.

Ukraine is grateful for Romania’s support, which strengthens our state, as well as its constructive solidarity, which enables our nations to be security donors for the world, notably in food security.

We have already built and can expand cooperation that sustains stability for many other nations.

We will discuss further security cooperation, developing aviation and other coalitions, strengthening Ukraine’s air defense, the Black Sea security architecture, and our relations with partners.

Romania is a friend who came to our help on our darkest day and whose support gets stronger with time. I am certain this visit will be beneficial for both of our nations.

  1. When your nazi savagery is too much even for the chicoms, it shows you have almost reached the bottom.

  2. Good that Zel is in Romania. So far, they have shown themselves to be cheap bastards in terms of the help they provided so far. Especially bearing in mind that Romania was an axis power whose invaders committed terrible atrocities in Odesa in WW2.

    • I see the Moskali using the word Nationalist again as if it was a bad word. There are few on earth more Nationalist than the Moskali. That’s why we’re in the situation we are now, but in their case they aren’t Nationalist they’re straight up nazis.

  3. “Geng Shuang, China’s deputy UN ambassador, said Beijing finds the heavy civilian casualties in the attack on the village “concerning.”

    Then stop supporting your little junkyard dog, you fucking hypocrite assholes.
