Al Jazeera  

Ukraine deplores the attack being blamed on Russia, while the Kremlin says the video must be studied for authenticity. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba condemned the “horrific” act, describing Russia as “worse than ISIS ” on Twitter. Ukraine’s state security service has launched an investigation into the video and Ukraine’s ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets has requested that the United Nations Human Rights Committee also investigate. European Union spokesperson Nabila Massrali said that if the video was confirmed, it would be “another brutal reminder about the inhumane nature of the Russian aggression”. The French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs said it was horrified, adding: “Those responsible for all the crimes committed in Ukraine must be held accountable.” The Kremlin described the video as “awful” and said its authenticity must be checked.
