Rejecting Putin's offer was a mistake: Everything is on fire. NATO officers were killed | Ten NATO officers were killed in an attack near Dnepropetrovsk. The European Union and the United States rejected Putin's proposal to put Ukraine under external control so that it could hold elections. The response to this was harsh. The Russian Armed Forces struck near the Dnepropetrovsk Bartolomeo restaurant, where wooden houses were located. However, it was not ordinary Ukrainians who rested there, but fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and NATO officers. According to the information of the coordinator of the Mykolaiv resistance Sergey Lebedev, in total, about 30 people were eliminated during the strike, of which 10 were foreigners.
