The Russian Embassy in London has claimed photos showing the aftermath of a strike on a Mariupol maternity hospital which left three people, including a child, dead, and 17 others, including women waiting to give birth, injured, were staged.
Despite the attack being confirmed, the official Twitter account pushed a bizarre conspiracy theory that a women pictured in images of the attack which have gone viral is famous Ukrainian beauty blogger Marianna Podgurskaya posing, and that the maternity hospital had been taken over by the far-right Azov Brigade who told all staff to leave the building days earlier.
Images posted on Ms Podgurskaya's Instagram account show that at the end of February (the date of the last post) she was heavily pregnant.

It was reported this morning that there were three dead from the bombing, but the picture showed massive damage. Something did not add up.
Massive damage? Not from the pictures I’ve seen.
No direct hits on the building, and low casualties. This was not a deliberate attack on an active facility.
Those Ukrainian beauty queens are everywhere.
They are going after the response, rather than reporting on the actual issue. A recurring MSM trick.
The building I saw looked pretty badly damaged, but what do I know.
The Russian embassy must be getting their talking points from FreeRepublic.
Three reported deaths was not consistent with the level of damage I saw .
But that is all I am saying.
I’ll keep an open mind on this, while remember that 80% of what we read has been proven to be Fake News.
Aw jeez, is the 9-11 Tourist in the photos too? [/S]
“The building I saw looked pretty badly damaged, but what do I know.”
I still wonder how they did that level of damage and only killed 3 people. Perhaps the Ukranians didn’t have any more bodies available to bring over?
“ Those Ukrainian beauty queens are everywhere.”
The Green Card marriage market will be flooded with Ukrainian beauties after this.
Assume that everything you see from the Ukraine is an example of arranged propaganda.
Our Ukrainian sources assert that it was real.
PLO Pictures.. just like the poor dead Syrian boy washing up on our shores right in front of a camera.
Subject: “hitting the maternity hospital”
I suspect this was a targeting error as this gains the Russians nothing. I suspect there have been many targeting errors and perhaps even poor command and control at the field level such as firing on civilians evacuating via a truce corridor agreed to by both sides. This will get you shot by your own commanders.
When Russians soldiers die in Ukraine it is not a targeting error but just a damn good day. Oddly I feel compassion for those young conscripts. They do not want to be there and do not want to go to war with the Ukraine. Most unfortunately, they need to be killed until they leave. They will leave grieving mothers, fathers, wives, brothers, sisters, girlfriends, and children as will the Ukrainians killed by “Putin The Invader.” WAR IS ALWAYS LIKE THIS!
