Zelensky's claim that there were 1,000 people at the mall clearly was not true. Russia's information below on the incident seems much more accurate.
"💥 The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to strike at military facilities on the territory of Ukraine. On June 27, in the city of Kremenchug, Poltava region , the Russian Aerospace Forces delivered a strike with high-precision air-based weapons on hangars with weapons and ammunition received from the United States and European countries , in the area of the Kremenchug plant of road vehicles. As a result of a high-precision strike, Western-made weapons and ammunition concentrated in the storage area for further shipment to the Ukrainian grouping of troops in the Donbass were hit . The detonation of stored ammunition for Western weapons caused a fire in a non-functioning shopping center located next to the plant."
President Biden: Russia’s attack on civilians at a shopping mall is cruel. We stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people. As demonstrated at the G7 Summit, the U.S. along with our allies and partners will continue to hold Russia accountable for such atrocities and support Ukraine’s defense
Thanks for this information. The propaganda is so think, and poorly done, I wonder who is in charge of cranking it out? These mistakes show such a lack of sophistication (just a few cars in the mall parking lot where at least 1000 people are?) that I'm left scratching my head asking who could believe this stuff?

LOL, that's why reporters on the scene have not seen any adjacent massive destroyed ammunition "storage are". Better explanation, mall was targeted or Russian weapons are crap-60% of Russian missiles misfire.

Saw a headline yesterday that said 10 killed. If true, hard to believe that there were 1,000 people in the mall.
Southfront did a story on the “mall.”
UPDATED: ANOTHER “CIVILIAN” FACILITY HIT BY RUSSIAN MISSILES IN UKRAINE. KREDMASH MILITARY PLANT IN KREMENCHUG DESTROYED
On June 27th, the Kiev regime claimed another Russian attack on a civilian target in Ukraine. A shopping center on an area of over 10 thousand square meters is burning in the city of Kremenchug in the Poltava region. Ukrainian President Zelensky claimed that Russian missiles hit the building. According to him, there were more than a thousand people inside.
However, the number of victims is extremely low. The head of the Poltava regional military administration Dmitry Lunin reported in his Telegram channel that as of 6 pm local time it was known about two dead and 20 wounded. The same data is provided by the regional Department of the State Service of Ukraine for Emergency Situations.
“The shopping center is on fire, rescuers are engaged in extinguishing the fire, the number of victims is impossible to even imagine,” Zelensky wrote.
115 people are involved in extinguishing the fire. A fire train was sent to the place of emergency.
The reports seem suspicious. According to Ukrainian officials, Russian cruise missiles hit the crowded shopping center, but only the deaths of two people have been confirmed so far.
UPDATE: The number of victims has reportedly risen to 13.
The burning center turned out to be the Amstor shop located meters away from the workshop of the Kremenchug Kredmash Road Machinery Plant. Since 2014, the plant has been used for repairing military equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the Anti-Terrorist Operation against the population of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics.
The Kredmash Road Machinery Plant was likely hit by several missiles and the blast wave set the shopping center nearby on fire.
The facilities of the plant behind the shop are even not marked on Google maps, what confirms that they likely serve the military needs.
Footage from the area confirms that the attack targeted the military facilities. A lot of servicemen in full military gear are walking near the shopping center.
The number of people gathering nearby and a few cars on the parking that are seen on the videos also raise suspicions that the Ukrainian authorities reported the real number of “civilians” in the shop.
UPDATE:
One of the main propagandists of Ukraine Anton Gerashchenko traditionally came to the scene of events to shoot provocative videos and share them on his social networks. However, his video only aroused even more suspicion of Kiev’s statements.
Gerashchenko showed the destroyed store from the inside. A large number of bottles can be seen on the shelters. If the fire was the result of a missile strike, they would definitely break out. Thus, the video confirms the fact that there was no strike, and the building caught fire for another reason. It was probably burned after military facilities exploded nearby.
The Kiev’s propaganda campaign follows the same scenarios covering the military developments and attacks in Ukraine. On June 26, a civilian house was allegedly hit by Russian missiles. However, it turned out that the target of the attack was the Artyom military plant located nearby and the house was likely hit by Ukrainian air defence systems in an attempt to intercept the Russian missiles.

The facts are easily verified, and the truth is revealed immediately. However, the lies reported by the Kiev media are actively spread by the MSM, as well as by senior officials of Western countries allied to the Kiev regime.

This is a huge number of prisoners - five brigades’ worth. I knew the Russians had a lot but I wasn’t expecting 15,000+.

Rybar has a POW update. Over 15,000 now, with more coming in. The discrepancy with some of the “official” Russian figures that seem too low is because Russia counts the POWs in their hands and in the LDPR’s hands separately.
Through official channels alone, the Ukrainian side requested confirmation of the presence of over 15,000 Ukrainian servicemen in captivity. The real numbers are much higher. The Ukrainian negotiators are demanding the release of female servicemen (who are one and a half hundred in captivity) without any formulas, urging them to show humanity, because there are pregnant women among them.
The Ukrainian side demands that Ukrainian officers and military personnel of the Azov National Regiment be included in the exchange formulas, counting on the maximum possible media promotion of cases upon their return. This correlates with the statement of the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine about the imminent release of all prisoners from Azovstal: the Ukrainian side needs to show a media victory over Russia and finally prove that the extraction operation really exists.
And the most interesting thing is that in the office of Deputy Prime Minister Irina Vereshchuk they understand that the demands of the GUR members are inappropriate and only harm. But representatives of the GUR do not even think about real humanity and concern for their own population.
