I don’t think there is any doubt about who did it. There is no reason Russia would blow up their own penal colony.
But, what I don’t get is why Zelensky did this. AZOV was furious that he didn’t send in reinforcements to rescue them from AVOSTAL. If I were him I would sleep with one eye open from now on. They will not let him get away with this.
Apparently he found the prospect of what they were revealing to the Russians (as shown in Karl’s video) and the benefit Russia would get from that becoming common knowledge more dangerous to him than the remaining AZOV forces will be. I think he made another poor decision.

Graphic: Azov POW’s executed by Zelensky regime forces using American supplied MLRS. It appears most of them were asleep during the strike— which is not by chance, the time of the strike was chosen carefully to inflict as many casualties as possible. The prisoners have just started speaking against the crimes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine before the trial was about to take place.
Ukrainian propagandists are already saying Russia hit their own detention centres. — yes, Russia killed their own witnesses which they could use on national television to support their narrative at home & to detain and prosecute Ukrainian military officers. Logic level: Ukrop
There are interviews with the Azovs in DNR media. Ze wanted them to stop talking.
