“Russia is not Israel or even Iran,” he wrote in X. Former President Dmitry Medvedev, who is deputy director of the country’s Security Council, in X.

“Every new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with their own country,” said Medvedev.

“Kremlin officials continue to frame Russia as in the direct geopolitical confrontation with the West to generate domestic support for the war in Ukraine and the future Russian aggression against NATO,” said the War Study Institute, a group of Washington experts, Monday night.

At least 42 inmates were hospitalized with serious injuries, while another 40 people, including a staff member, suffered various injuries.

The strike destroyed the prison dining room, the damaged administrative and quarantine buildings, but the perimeter fence remained and no escapes were reported, authorities said.

Ukrainian officials condemned the attack, calling the directed civil infrastructure, such as prisons, a war crime under international conventions.
