Russian propagandists blame Kyiv for Kremlin’s deadly strike on children’s hospital
espreso ^ | 8 july, 2024

Posted on 07/08/2024 2:45:36 PM PDT by Grzegorz 246

Videos emerge online, showing a targeted attack by a Kh-101 missile on the Okhmatdyt children's hospital in Kyiv Ukrainian military expert Oleksandr Kovalenko has analyzed Russian propaganda messages after the terrorist attack on the largest children’s hospital of Ukraine.

At first, the Russian invaders claimed their strike on the Okhmadyt children's hospital in Kyiv was due to an alleged military meeting taking place there.

“So they openly admit that the attack on the children's clinic was targeted and justify it with a “meeting” claim… Seriously?

Let me recall that when two weeks ago, Kharkiv was attacked with glide bombs, Russian media platforms openly stated that the hospital was actually their target... Meanwhile, hospitals are protected by the Geneva Convention, which states that such facilities and their personnel operating in war zones shall be protected,” Kovalenko pointed out.

He adds that the Russians are, in fact, openly stating they are deliberately attacking civilian targets protected by the Geneva Convention.

Later in the day, the Russian propagandists, seeing the impact of their crime, turned on the other classic narrative, claiming the missile was shot down by Ukrainian air defense so it hit the hospital.

Ukrainians took to social media to publish the footage, which confirms that there was no shoot-down.

“The missile just plunges directly onto the children's hospital building. A targeted attack by a Kh-101 missile on a children's hospital,” Kovalenko wrote on Telegram.

In the evening, Russian propagandists decided to play experts, claiming that the children's hospital was hit by a Ukrainian Patriot PAC-3 surface-to-air missile!

And this despite the fact that a video of the strike is widely circulated, while a number of Russian specialized platforms across social media openly stated that the facility had been hit by a Russian Kh-101.

“Just look closely at the missile seen in the video, especially pay attention to its tail unit and the R95-300 turbojet engine located there. Now, let’s compare this with the Patriot PAC-3, NASAMS AIM-120A, and Kh-101/555 missiles.

Here's a question for experts: what type of missiles is totally similar to what we see there? Especially the tail part with the turbojet engine,” Kovalenko concluded.

Today’s class at the Kiev Institute of Propaganda Training was “How to sound like an American”.

Trouble is, the ones who put the curriculum together got some of their data at the San Francisco Pride parade.

It’s an American thing which I know because I’m from Ohio, the Mother of Presidents AND Devo!

You wanna bet Apparatchik is googling Bob 1 and Bob 2 right now?

After tonight he’s going to suggest to Dean Zelensky that the Kiev Institute of Propaganda Training teach a course on American New Wave Rock Bands.

My gift of real culture to their program.
They’re welcome.
They should also look into The Cars, Gary Numan, Plasmatics, The Cure, Rick Springfield.

Yes - because we’re still listening to them!

I’m living and working in a college town now and what you hear at the indy coffee shops, stores, restaurants, etc. is Split Enz, The Cure, Pretenders, Men at Work, B-52s…these college kids know our music is better than the crap that’s cranked out now.

Sweet! I have several Talking Heads songs downloaded on a few of my playlists. I never got to see them and I always wanted to.

*Internal organs liquefy*
“Taylor Swift”
You get to hear the musical equivalent of herpes my way in most of those places.
If you hear anything decent it isn’t too often.
I was actually shocked the other day that our local mall was playing Roxette, Soul Coughing, and other 90’s staples.
My niece asked if I was okay.
No. No I wasn’t, mall hadn’t played that kind of music since forever.

I also saw the Plasmatics at Cullen Auditorium and yes, Wendy did smash a TV.

Saw Laurie Anderson there back then too.

She did have talent.
Rick Springfield collabbed with Coheed and Cambria to do a sequel to Jessie’s Girl.
It’s hilarious, he appears in the video.

i thank you for your summation.

As one who spent time “ in big muddy” in the early ‘70’s, and then involvdd in The Cold War for a number of years, I concur.

(just like that little fellow Fezzini said in ‘The Princess Bride’ about a land war in Asia. Inconceivable!)

Most importantly, Russia doesn't allow same-sex marriage, sex change, sex changes on kids, drag queen story, gay pride parades or the LGBT agenda to promoted whatsover.

So what? Many red states don't allow those things either. For that matter, many countries in Asia, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East don't allow those things, yet only Russia gets your praise for it. You seem determined to make America and the non-Russian speaking world look worse than it actually is in order to promote Russia.

You're wrong. EVERY state must allow gay marriage thanks to the Supreme Court. No state can prohibit LGBT propaganda.

You're so consumed with Russian hatred, you want to ignore that fact this nation is far worse off morally as a whole. It destroys your narrative of us good, Russia evil.

“Which FReepers are delivering Russian propaganda straight from Russia?”

Definitely these accounts but likely there's more:

https://freerepublic.com/~kazan/

“Why do you fly the Polish flag on your profile page?”

How about you try to figure it out on your own ?
