Russia accuses Ukraine of playing ‘key role’ in anti-Israel airport riot

Russia accuses Ukraine of playing a “key role” in the antisemitic riot at an airport in the Muslim-majority region of Dagestan on Sunday.

“The criminal Kyiv regime played a direct and key role in carrying out the latest destructive act,” Russia’s foreign affairs spokeswoman Maria Zakharova says in a statement.

On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tied the incident to what he has called “Russian antisemitism and systemic hatred toward other nations.”
