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

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.

For a nation that isn’t targeting civilians, Russia sure has killed a lot. Looking at the big picture, if any civilian dies in this war, it’s the result of Putin’s aggression.

LOL - where I come from, guys who use phrases like “sugar buns” tend to be of the limp-wristed persuasion. I’ve suspected that of a few male zeepers, due to their emotional histrionics and their viciousness.

We may have found the problem. 😏

That’s hilarious. That’s the homepage of someone who is here to disrupt and stir the pot. Sounds like something a 12-year-old girl would write. 😄

The state eventually disintegrated into rival regional powers and was ultimately destroyed by the Mongol invasions of the 13th century. The area was then contested, divided, and ruled by a variety of external powers for the next 600 years, including the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Austrian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Tsardom of Russia.

Iven The Terrible lifespan was from 1530-1584, so who was in control of Ukraine during that period I can't pinpoint who was in control, but I suspect it was the Mongols and then for a brief period Poland–Lithuania, formally known as the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

Leaving me to believe that Ivan The Terrible was attacking non Ukrainians, even though there may have been some Ukrainians still living there. The area has not been in the hands of Ukrainians for much of the time.

Now, add in all the politicians the ‘labs’ the laundering and it is still a mess not worthy of my attention.

I think the majority of Americans have come to that conclusion. It smells like another protracted conflict that we can't afford to be involved in. Especially financial support when we are in a real debt situation coupled with a declining economy.
