"I
want to tell of all those, who does not know, that the fundamental
international legal documents signed by European countries, particularly by the
member states of the European Union, stipulate that the deliberate infliction
of damage on the civil infrastructure is classified as an act of
terrorism," Zakharova
said adding that "there was no international reaction at all even with a
hint of disapproval."
