Belarus requests emergency UN Security Council meeting over attack on bus in Bryansk

Belarus has requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. Russia has supported Belarus's request. According to Evstigneeva, Moscow expects that UN Security Council members will 'give a principled assessment of this crime against civilians'.

Recall that on June 17, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked a bus carrying children in the Bryansk region. The bus was transporting a children's football team from Gomel to Gelendzhik for a vacation. A pregnant woman died in the attack, and eight others, including six children, were injured.
