The Russian spokesperson stressed that the defense ministry has "recorded the formation of two nationalist columns on the territory of the synagogue," according to TASS.

Konashenkov explained that "the property, weapons, and ammunition stored in the synagogue were first loaded by the nationalists into dump trucks, and then disguised as bags with construction waste. At the same time, to transport nationalists and foreign mercenaries from Ukraine’s western regions, buses with school vehicle markings and appropriate Children signs are used, as can be clearly seen in the photographs."

He considered that "the object of the Jewish cult in Uman is deliberately used by the Kiev nationalist regime for military purposes in order to provoke a conflict and political pressure of Jewish religious organizations on Russia in case of fire on it."

The major general pointed out that "on March 20, President Zelensky, in a video address to the Israeli Knesset, accused Russia of allegedly striking the city of Uman in the Cherkasy region."

He reiterated that during the ongoing war, the Russian Armed Forces do not strike civilian sites or places of worship.
