Russian missile turns Ukrainian market into fiery, blackened ruin strewn with bodies
The Associated Press ^ | September 6, 2023 | MSTYSLAV CHERNOV

The Russian missile that struck Wednesday in eastern Ukraine turned an outdoor market into a fiery, blackened ruin where weeping civilians looked for loved ones among the mangled, burned bodies scattered across the ground.

The blast in the town of Kostiantynivka killed 17 people and wounded at least 32 in one of Russia’s deadliest strikes on civilians in months, Ukrainian officials said.

“There was no military target here. This is a peaceful neighborhood in the city center,” Stefan Slovak, who lives in Kostiantynivka, said in a trembling voice.

Behind him were the remnants of the market, where charred bodies could be seen in the street, their clothes still burning, near cars engulfed in flames. Behind a market stall holding fresh parsley, rescuers found a women in civilian clothes with her head covered in blood.

Video taken by The Associated Press showed a chaotic scene, with charred bodies lying on the ground, some of them still burning. As firefighters tried to douse the flames, first responders rushed to apply tourniquets and load the wounded into emergency vehicles using stretchers and blankets. Posters or tarps were used to cover some of the dead. Onlookers cried and consoled one another.

“They are shooting at peaceful civilians. Are we soldiers here? Are we shooting at them? No! So why? They are just trying to destroy Ukrainian nation,” said resident Nadezhda Negoda.

Aren’t you the one who celebrates the indiscriminate use of drone attacks against civilians in Moscow? This war of Uke corruption takes thousands of innocent civilian lives on both sides. Of course, for the DC globalists and their neocon stooges, civilian deaths are a small price to pay for the spread corrupt world pervo wokeism.

They’ve been analyzing this incident on twitter and come to the conclusion it was an air defensive missile that went wrong. But the AP won’t mention that in their sensational reporting.

“Why you spread lies like that !!!
Where is your proof this was a Ukrainian rocket ?“

Heck, this guy has been spreading the lie that NATO blew up Nord Stream! I’m glad you’re here to set this misguided fellow and his “lies” right. Remember when all the neocons wanted to go to war with Russia when Russia attacked Poland with a missile. Well, this crazy liar was saying that was a Uke missile too. Imagine the lies.

Now do Washington DC.

The Deep State, GloboHomo military industrial complex are the one’s ultimately responsible for all the bloodshed, IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!

Wherever there is death and destruction, you will find the evil CIA, led by the Golden Calf puppet masters, behind all the wreckage.

“Ukrainian officials said.”

That’s the extent of the AP’s reporting?

Perhaps Russia shouldn’t have invaded Ukraine.

Well, if it's on Twitter (X), it must be true, right?

You’re such a pathetic moron!

First of all - it is not an AA missile. It clearly has a large HE warhead.

... and even if your moronic claim was valid, then why do you think Ukrainian cities need to shoot AA missiles?

I’ll help you a bit, because you’re obviously mentally challenged ... they need to shoot AA missiles because Russians are shooting missiles at these civilian towns and they’re protecting these towns!

That is their go to response, as you know Putin has been going east on Ukraine and avoiding civilian casualties and why he has not “liberated “ Ukraine from the nazis /s

It is interesting to hear Russian supporters talk of all the invasions Russia has experienced, yet things like starving millions of ukranians in the 30s, invading Finland and my favorite starting ww2 allied with Nazi germany with invasion of Poland are never mentioned

The picture of smiling Russian and german soldiers shaking hands after the met in Poland comes to mind

And of course the Soviet Union, Warsaw pact and Russian federation all exist because of mutual love and admiration ….. another /s
