The vice president of the Security Council of Russia and a close associate of the Russian president Dmitry Medvedev said today that Russia had not targeted the Ukrainian president’s delegation Volodymyr Zelesny during yesterday’s missile attack on its port Odessa.
Dmitry Medvedev stated that “Moscow would have hit its target, if that was the target, and it is obvious to everyone that there was no planned attack on the convoy.”
“It is obvious to everyone. And that there was no blow against the convoy in Odessa. And that if it was a goal, we would achieve it” Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel
Earlier, an adviser to the Ukrainian presidency stated that it cannot be ruled out that the Russian missile strike at the port of Odessa yesterday was aimed at the missions of Volodymyr Zelensky or Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
“It was actually less than 500 meters from us. What was that?…You can’t rule out that it was headed for my president’s mission or the mission of a foreign guest”, Ihor Zovkva, a high-ranking Ukrainian diplomatic adviser, said earlier in an interview with CNN. He even added: “If we had sufficient means of air defense, this ballistic missile could have been intercepted.”
