RUSSIAN PERSPECTIVE

No attack perpetrated on Zelensky's motorcade in Odessa — Medvedev

No one planned to mount an attack on Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky's motorcade in Odessa, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said.

"Everything here is obvious to everyone. Both that there was no attack on the motorcade in Odessa, and [moreover] that if a target had been set, they (Russian forces - TASS) would have hit it," Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel, commenting on the explosion that occurred on March 6 in Odessa in close proximity to the motorcade of Zelensky and his guest, visiting Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

"But it's still somehow a pity," the official said. "It's a pity that it (the missile - TASS) was precisely launched in a pre-planned place," he added.

Medvedev concluded his post with the Latin proverb: "Nullum malum sine aliquo bono" (There is, in fact, no evil without some good - TASS).
