Dmitry Medvedev:

"My sincere condolences to the families of those killed in the attack, and strength to all the loved ones of the victims.

Terrorists only understand retribution. No courts or investigations will help if force is not met with force, and deaths are not met with the total execution of terrorists and repressions against their families. That is the world's experience.

Should it be established that these are terrorists of the Kiev regime, it is impossible to act otherwise with them and their ideological inspirers. All of them must be found and mercilessly destroyed as terrorists. Including the officials of the state that committed such an atrocity.

Death for death."
