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.

Those missiles Russia fired destroy everything up tob3 stories underground.

I doubt that this limited damage is due to one of their missiles. Look at the other buildings hit today and they are totally gutted. That hospital was not heavily damaged. This was an incepter.

I clearly delineated the idiocy that sent you off into the stratosphere.

No one likes Zelensky.

WTF is a zeeper if no one likes Zelensky?

It’s a Putin sympathizer/communist badge.

Despite it being 99% true, it is just so sad seeing you becoming so unhinged.

“It’s 40-1 Putin sympathizers touting Russian might that doesn’t exist vs not-basically being mouth pieces for the neocons while calling every one else a neo con.”

“That makes about as much sense as something Joe Biden would say”

Neocons overstate their strength to support war.

Way to tell me that you have no clue without explicitly telling me.

Youvare reading too much into any utterance by Trump about Ukraine’s importance.

American companies literally bought up Ukraine’s assets from land to minerals. The USG further leveraged Ukraine fir Billions of USD for military equipment. Maybe that money is important but, Ukraine conspired with the DNC-RINO to impeach him. Ukraine also gave false information on the Russia Russia Russia colusion BS.

Trump basically endorsed a plan the requires Ukraine to sit and negotiate with Russia WITHOUT A CEASEFIRE as an inducement to Ukraine to settle fast or be conquered.

Ukraine is DOA pn Trump’s arrival. The DNC, RINOS and Deepstate will lose the purse strings and Ukraine will wither a death they themselves delivered when trying to destroy Trump.

Trump is going to let the EU suppirt Ukraine.

All Trump has to do is stop paying all the salaries of Government and Military while continuing to send aid and Ukraine will collapse.

Ukraine is a house of cards completely bought and owned by the US Taxpayers.

Russia has reached a point where Ukraine has lost and it is only a metter of Russia killing the Ukrainian military and then taking Odessa. There is nothing NATO can do to stop Russia short of a war that englufs all of Europe.

Ukraine is going to collaspe due to continuous contact and superior Russian firepower and manpower.

Your missile is missing the big black appendage seen at the rear of the Russian missile (could be a JATO).

It was not an utterance. He could’ve answered the question without including us at all.

If you believe all of that, sell some BTC log in on forex with any credit card and buy rubles.

They’re on a big sale 45% off vs our dollar since June ‘22.

His bonds are paying 18% as well.

He has pocketed somewhere around $90,000,000,000/yr in climate oil revenues/yr nominally-when they vanish-I’m not thinking either is going to be worth the investment. Trading is all about differing opinion.

This was supposed to be wrapped up in 6-8 weeks going on 3yrs ago. Ironically June 22 is when the ruble peaked as they actually believed it would be over in four months and it became readily obvious that was not the case.

>>>>In a nutshell-

despite hating war, despising the immense debt and corruption while not caring about Ukraine in the slightest

some of us support President Trump.

He said Ukraine’s survival is important to us.

Oddly though, other folks hate war, do not like obscene debt but care a lot about Russia and Putin.

It’s ridiculous nonsense.<<<<

____________________________________________

Yes, I hate war.

Yes, I despise immense debt and corruption.

Yes, I don’t care about Ukraine in the slightest.

Yes, I support President Trump financially, spiritually, mentally and physically.

No, I don’t care a lot about Russia and Putin.

It makes perfect sense to me and to anyone who’s America First.

Is Israel included? By the way, the missile is nothing like X-101 in shape, it is clearly a an AIM-120.

It’s nice to read those sentiments.

Ironically, in the first four months of the invasion, the ruble was very strong.

It appeared that he was successfully evading sanctions and things were going great for him.

I posted as much and was instantly labeled a Russian bot.

>>>>The reality is if the forum looked like it does now-

endless touting of Russian, Iranian and Chinese superiority that doesn’t exist with 60 articles a month bashing Boeing et plenty al

most of us would’ve kept on trucking and never landed here in the first place.<<<<

You signed up for FR on March 4, 2022. The current conflict in Ukraine began on February 24, 2022. What a coincidence.

So keep on trunkin’ a$$clown, you haven’t been here long enough to comment about what the forum looked like in the past or what it should look like in the future.

And you should be extremely careful about bashing longtime Freepers because you’ll soon feel the wrath of your feline overlords.

IBTZ.

You don’t speak for everybody on this forum, Skippy. You only speak for yourself with your woefully poor composition skills. There’s a whole little zeepy fan club for the mincing little grifter on here. I know you’re a member.

WTF is a zeeper if no one likes Zelensky?

The drag queen doth protest too much. You’re a zeeper. And here you are shoving another zeeper out of the way in your haste to arrive at Zelensky’s derrière.

It’s a Putin sympathizer/communist badge.

You’re into Putin too? You sympathize with and worship both Zelensky and Putin? Eww. You just love those eastern European despots, don’t you? Weirdo.

Yeah, I have a feeling this one’s not going to be around much longer. I like to play with ‘em a little before they ride the lightning. 😁

I’ve been here off and on since Krauthammer mentioned the site in 2009.

It’s LOL that folks believe anyone could possibly find this site given big tech has buried it.

Until you purchase the site, you have zero say in what I post or towards whom it is posted.

Good job not spitting on President Trump’s face the last two days with threads touting Putin/Russia. It must have difficult.

YUCK!

Those things are just as disgusting as the leeches my Grandfather kept in a jar for medicinal purposes.

But nowhere as disgusting as a zeeper.

Zero posts liking Zelensky since the stupidest post of the year award.

That says it all.

But if one can’t grasp that touting imsginary Russian strength is neocon speak, grasping anything else is a tall order.

Feeling pretty confident are you? Just keep trying to disrupt the site and aiming snark at FReepers who have been here 25+ years and suddenly, when you least expect it, twin lightning bolts will appear from on high and you’ll just be an unpleasant memory to those of us who remain.
