But I have a fragment of a Russian missile in my hand, which was given to me yesterday by the Ukrainian minister of environment," Lazarenko said. He added that such missiles kill people every day and also cause environmental disasters, such as the flooding triggered by the blowing up of the Kakhovka reservoir.
