Kyiv denies involvement of Ukrainian military in shelling of Russian territory

KYIV. July 13 (Interfax) - Ukrainian militarymen are not responsible for the shelling of the territory of the Russian Federation or the death of a Russian citizen there, spokesman for the information and analysis center of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Andriy Lysenko has said.

"Forces involved in the antiterrorist operation are not firing at the territory of the neighboring country. They are not firing at living quarters," he said at a briefing on Sunday.

"There are numerous confirmed instances when militants shot at the territory of the Russian Federation and civilians for provocative purposes - to blame the Ukrainian military for the casualties," he said.
