”The Russians have deliberately targeted people from the Danish Refugee Council who are on a humanitarian mission to clear mines”, writes the region's governor Viatjeslav Tjaus in social media.
In a press release, the Danish Refugee Council states that the two killed employees were from Ukraine, and that eight other people were injured in the attack, which was carried out on the outskirts of the city of Tjernihiv.
”First, the Russians lay out explosives and mines. Now they kill people, civilians who risk their lives to make our country safe”, writes Tjaus.
Mette Frederiksen reacts strongly and sends her condolences to the relatives.
First and foremost, it's dreadful, she says to TV2.
She says that Russia is ”a brutal enemy”.
It's yet another example of a Russia that is willing to kill and willing to threaten and use almost all imaginable means to achieve its illegal goals, she continues.
The Tjernihiv region borders Belarus to the north and was partially occupied at the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
