“The alleged aerial bombardment is a complete provocation staged to keep up the anti-Russian stir among a Western audience,” he added.

The bombing on Wednesday of the Mariupol hospital, which sparked global outrage, left three dead, including a child, according to the mayor of that strategic sea port of Azov. A previous balance gave part of 17 injured adults.

Mariupol has been besieged for ten days by Russian troops who invaded the country on February 24 by order of President Vladimir Putin.
