Russian propagandists blame Kyiv for Kremlin’s deadly strike on children’s hospital

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.

Our FRiends here are a LOT more savvy than you knuckledraggers give them credit for. Many know how to use a search engine to educate themselves, rather than just screeching about “danged furriners” (which I am not). But since you had the courage to proclaim your ignorance, here you go:

Vatnik (Russian: ватник, pronounced [ˈvatʲnʲɪk]) is a political pejorative used in Russia and other post-Soviet states for steadfast jingoistic followers of propaganda from the Russian government. The use of the word originates from an Internet meme first spread by Anton Chadskiy on VKontakte in 2011, and later used in Russia, Ukraine, then in other post-Soviet states. Its meaning refers to the original cartoon, which depicts a character made from the material of a padded cotton wool jacket (vatnik in Russian) and bearing a black eye, which is used to disparage someone as a blindly patriotic and unintelligent jingoist who pushes the conventional views presented in Russian government media as well as those of Russian web brigades.

Happy to help explain any of the words above you might have had trouble with.

Yep. A-hole is the right word.

Yes, for that jerk in your mirror, it sure is.

You’re funny when you lose your temper. Screech some more hysteria about “Vatniks” and people hating freedom and loving Russian murderers and whatever other psycho rantings come forth from your spittle-encrusted lips. It’s hilarious.

[Apparatchik]

Those are English words. I see you are having the same comprehension problems as before. May I recommend this site:

I hyperlinked it so you don’t have to struggle - just click it.

Note that he has ZERO response to being asked what auditing has been done for the billions sent to the Laundromat.
None.
Not even a lame gaslight.

[Apparatchik]

I’M losing MY temper? Hee-hee! 😂 😆

Some may have the desire to look up UKE/Russian words or phrases, I do not.

I leave that up to foreign flunkies like you.

[Allegra]

Hurt your feeeeeeelings there zampolit?

Something sure did. He is big mad and having quite the amusing temper tantrum.

Explain then what kind of auditing has been done for the billions sent to the Laundromat.

I’m curious to see if you get a coherent response to that very legitimate question. I’ve asked about that several times and zeepers don’t seem to like that.

One Zeeper posted an audit process in response to that question last week - you know, explaining how an audit is done.

It’s cute when they think we’re as stupid and gullible as they are.

[Darksheare]

They only know what the habdlers tell them.

[popdonnelly]

Your observation makes zero sense.

[Apparatchik]

… ZERO response to being asked what auditing has been done for the billions…

Oh geez- another hapless soul too lazy or mentally ill-equipped to look up stuff for themselves.

[popdonnelly]

Because you know everything, don’t you? Has to be a false flag, because you say so.

[bimboeruption]

>>>>Those are English words.<<<<

Vatnik is not an English word. Read the definition you posted, пенис.

[popdonnelly]

How do you know all these amazing things? You must be a Russian propagandist.

[popdonnelly]

You posted a picture of this missile with a Soviet bomber behind it.

[Darksheare]

Then tell us, oh wise one, what auditing has been done for the billions sent to the Laundromat.

[Apparatchik]

Again, not a foreigner, sweet cheeks. Suit yourself. But without any knowledge or even a desire to know more about the region you spew your opinions about, how do you expect anyone to take you seriously?

I guess ignorance means never having to say “I don’t know”

[popdonnelly]

Odd that so many supposed conservatives support Putin’s aggression. You’re shaming yourselves.

[Darksheare]

While they’re at it, they can further try to claim “apparatchik” is English too.

[Allegra]

Looks like there’s been a summoning of zeeper reinforcements.

They just pulled off of Zelensky’s tush for a minute to come help their zeeper brethren.

[Apparatchik]

Reread your post that I responded to, sugar buns. You are becoming tiresome. I hope this is willful ignorance you are displaying, because the alternative is too frightening to contemplate.
