(Picture: via REUTERS)Britain’s armed forces minister James Heappey on Friday slammed a top Russian diplomat for denying that his country’s forces hit a theatre in Ukraine reportedly housing hundreds of civilians.
Vasily Nebenzya, Russia’s ambassador to the UN, alleged that the Kremlin’s forces were not involved in the attack on the theatre, in the besieged city of Mariupol in southern Ukraine, where hundreds of civilians, including children, were reported to be sheltering in the basement.
