Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov told a senior Red Cross official that Moscow was concerned about the use of incendiary weapons and ballistic missiles in the military operation in eastern Ukraine, RIA Novosti reported.
Antonov stressed that Kiev’s so-called ‘anti-terrorist operation’, during which heavy artillery, multiple-launch rocket systems, ballistic missiles and aviation are being used indiscriminately, has led to numerous casualties among civilians and destroyed vital infrastructure.
He also expressed serious concern about the use of inhumane types of weapons in residential areas, such as incendiary weapons and ballistic missiles with fragmentation warheads,” the ministry said, commenting on Antonov’s meeting with Laurent Corbaz, the Red Cross head of operations for Europe and Central Asia.
