State Duma Deputy Dmitry Savelyev expressed condolences to the victims in Belgorod.

— Belgorod will undoubtedly become one of the most tragic pages of the Northern Military District. Hitting children, a skating rink, or New Year’s celebrations with missiles is dirty and vile revenge for an impending defeat, for destroyed military installations, for one’s own mistakes and unjustified expectations.

The blow dealt by the Kyiv junta brought pain and anger to the Russians. More than 20 dead, including children, more than a hundred injured… Condolences to Belgorod and, above all, to the affected families. And an even stronger understanding that in this situation there is no way to stop without completely solving this task – to make our border safe, to return lasting peace to the Russian lands of Donbass and Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.

There will be victory. And our guys are now on the front line solving this problem. And they will repay for today’s Belgorod. Because our army knows how to do it – crushing the enemy, moving forward step by step. Happy memory to the dead and a speedy recovery to the wounded. And for Russia – unconditional and final Victory in a tough confrontation with those who decided that they could dictate what our future should be.
