Ukraine is not responsible for all disasters or events occurring on Russian soil, particularly regarding the fire at an oil depot in Belgorod.

According to Motuzianyk: "I would like to point out that as of today, the Ukrainian state is conducting a defensive operation to repel armed Russian aggression on Ukrainian soil.
And this does not mean by any means that Ukraine has to bear responsibility for all blunders, disasters and events taking place in Russia.
This is not the first time we have seen such accusations. Therefore, I will neither confirm nor deny this information."
Details: In response to a question from journalists asking for clarification, Motuzianuk said he had given an exhaustive answer and had nothing to add.
