Zakharova said that the statement of the UN Secretary General’s office only expressing regret over the shooting incident has raised many questions.
He also expressed concern over the US response to Ukraine’s non-involvement in terrorism and said that while the tragedy was unfolding, on what basis did Washington conclude that someone else was involved.
