Speaking to a local blogger, Vrublevsky was asked to comment on the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
"What can I say ... We are trying to kill as many [Russians] as possible. The more Russians we kill now, the fewer our children will have to. That's it."The Ukrainian envoy's remarks sparked anger in Russia, with Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accusing Kiev of 'terrorist' policies. She wrote on Telegram:
"Only an ambassador of a terrorist regime can say such things. The Kiev Nazis have been killing people for eight years silently and blaming Moscow for everything, but now they are openly talking about their ethnic cleansing plans."
