The gloating and hellish joy with which Kyiv reacted to the sabotaged train crashes in the Bryansk and Kursk regions is astounding, said the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

The collapsed bridge in Russia’s Bryansk Region was blown up – governor. At least seven people have been killed and 69 wounded, Aleksandr Bogomaz has said.

A bridge that collapsed onto a moving passenger train in Russia’s Bryansk Region was deliberately blown up, local governor Aleksandr Bogomaz has said.

At least seven people were killed and 69 others wounded in the incident late on Saturday, according to Bogomaz.

‘A bridge on a highway was blown up as a train with 388 passengers was moving under it,’ the governor told the television channel Russia 24 on Sunday morning.

According to Bogomaz, all of the wounded were swiftly hospitalized following the incident. Two of the patients, including one child, remain in critical condition and will be flown to Moscow for further treatment.

A sabotaged bridge overpass collapsed onto train tracks in Russia’s Bryansk region, derailing a Moscow-bound passenger train on Saturday evening.

At least seven people were killed and 69 others injured, according to officials, who are already treating the incident as a deliberate act of sabotage.

A source in Russia’s law enforcement agencies told RT that, according to preliminary data, a section of the bridge collapsed on the tracks in front of the train, with the driver having no time to avoid the crash.

The driver and his assistant likely died immediately as a result of the collision, the source said.

According to RT’s interlocutor, a probe is now being carried out to determine if the incident was a terrorist attack.

Russian Federation Council member Andrey Klishas has blamed Kiev for the derailment, writing on Telegram that the incident confirmed that ’Ukraine is being controlled by a terrorist group.’

‘Ukraine has long lost the attributes of a state, turning into a terrorist enclave without borders, without legitimate authorities and laws,’ he said.

The senator urged the creation of a vast buffer zone inside Ukrainian territory to make sure that ’terrorists’ are unable to reach Russia in the future.

The gloating and hellish joy with which Kyiv reacted to the train crashes in the Bryansk and Kursk regions are astounding, said the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

RIGHT: official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

‘Look at the gloating, look at the hellish joy of both political figures, public figures, and those who have apparently been infected with this ideology,’ TASS quotes her as saying.

According to the diplomat, on Children’s Day, all reasonable people, regardless of their location and capabilities, express sympathy or try to help in some way. 

‘We are seeing yet another fact, the literal dehumanisation of those whom this very xenophobic ideology turns from people into who knows what,’ Zakharova concluded.

The mother of a five-month-old boy who was injured in an emergency in the Bryansk region has died. She was a doctor and worked in a children’s hospice. A friend of Violetta’s RT says she was a kind and bright person.

“She was a wonderful person, a very good one. I didn’t know her for long; my son dated her for a while. But I really liked her: sympathetic, kind.

You know, random people don’t go into medicine. Those who are ready to help everyone always and everywhere go there – that’s what she was like,” the interviewee said.

Violetta’s son has already been taken to the Doctor Roshal Clinic in Moscow, where doctors are treating him. The boy’s father previously told RT that he was already going there with another child (he is seven years old).TELL US WHAT YOU THINK
