Renewed missile attacks spark harsh criticism from prominent Ukranian-born MP

Author: Iuliani Ramont́i

Tamara - Multiple missiles hit the Ukranian capital city of Kyiv, and several other major cities, on Monday. Following the strikes Ukranian authorities announced deaths and injuries. Among the Russian targets was a university and a child's playground. The missile strikes were likely a retaliatory measure against Ukraine for the attack on the Kerch Bridge. Saturday's attack on the Kerch Bridge was never confirmed by Ukranian officials. 

The attack drew heavy condemnation from politicians from all across the globe. Leaders from the EU, the United States, and others were quick to criticize Russia. The Agausian president condemned the attack through a statement posted on social media. Rubeni Ignat́ovi (AL), a Ukranian-born MP representing district SL-3, took a particularly harsh tone online towards the Russian president. 

Ignat́ovi has been a member of the Agausian Parlaiment since 2002 and has been influential in the Agausian Liberal party. Ignat́ovi was born in one of the regions hit on Monday's attack. In his statement online the legislature called [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and his supporters "cowards and failures" and asked, "would Putin be pleased with a burning empire?" 

In general, most Agausian politicians have steered away from personal attacks of the Russian president or other specific members of the Russian government. Ignat́ovi's comments are among the many examples of the Agausian government becoming more vocal about their decent of the Russian invasion.
