Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Friday called the assassination attempt on Russian Defense Ministry Lieutenant General Vladimir Alexeyev a terrorist act, saying that this attack once again confirmed Volodymyr Zelensky regime's focus on provocations to disrupt the negotiation process.
Earlier in the day, Russian Investigative Committee spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko said that an unidentified assailant opened fire against Alexeyev inside a residential building in Moscow, requiring his hospitalization.
"This terrorist act once again confirmed Zelensky regime's focus on constant provocations aimed, in turn, at disrupting the negotiation process, and the regime is ready to do everything to convince its Western sponsors not to lag behind the United States in seeking to lead them off course towards achieving a just settlement," Lavrov told a press conference.
