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.
Nah.
Your naive acceptance of disinfo about Russia only prolongs the agony that is killing tens of thousands of Ukrainian men EVERY MONTH NOW.
If you really cared about Ukrainians and humanitarianism.
Survivors in Mariupol have described that AZOV men herded them into the theater. Explosives were detonated inside the theater…by AZOV. To create an atrocity on which to blame Russia.
There’s a reason Mariupol is building anew as a Russian city, freed from the tyranny of AZOV and internal security forces, prisons, executions.
Your propaganda is on the same level as that of Julius Streicher. You pass despicable blame-the-victim lies. Hopefully you’ll get the same justice as Streicher.
Apparently the U.S. now stands for tranzzing kids, grooming kids, trafficking kids, protecting pedo rings from prosecution if the members are powerful “elites”, homosexual propaganda, eugenics based policies, money laundering schemes to benefit politicians via 10 percent for the big guy, and false flags.
An interesting tidbit about the cited article:

Rather amusing that the "news" is in Ukrainian and English, while the website is essentially in the United States.
Florida.
That is interesting.
Is is a Ukrainian who fled serving in the war?
A zeeper cashing in?
Intelligence service outlet?
I leave the determination of heavenly justice to you, pal.
I’ll stick with what makes rational military sense.
Russia as a nation is not deliberately targeting civilians, and is not engaging in a blood vendetta vs Ukrainians they consider as similar ethnicity. Once they are demilitarized, no longer threatening to Russia and Russian ethnics, and severed from NATO, the war will be over. The amount of annexed territory necessary to achieve those security and humanitarian goals…permanently…is subject to future settlement.
Free Republic used to be a site where patriots and ex-military used to gather for political discussion..
Now it’s a Commie Bastion.
All these commies commenting. Do they give any money to FR to spread their propaganda?
I am seriously disappointed how many freepers fall victim to these commie dupes. So gullible they would believe anything commies say it seems.
Hating the USA has become normal here and that is disgusting.
What is poor Jim to do?
A patriots position overran by commies and I don’t know if he even realizes it.
I believe Putin and the Russian leadership give snakepits a bad name.
I believe Ukraine is a sovereign nation was invaded wrongly, and that Russia is the Bad Guy.
Aside from the immorality of the invasion, I don’t have a horse in this race, and don’t want one dime going to Ukraine or ANY foreign nation. People can Venmo Zelinsky a few bucks from their checking account.
Perhaps 20-30 years ago, most conservatives would see the R-UK war, yawn and go back to work. To wit: nobody got worked up over the Soviet-Afghanistan war. Even during the annexation of the Crimea, people were relatively chill.
But Manischewitz, it boggles the mind to see the quantum of bandwidth wasted on the back and forth between “Zeepers” and “Putinistas.” I mean, I get calling out the hypocrisy of Putin et al and his faux morality. That sombich has the Cross in his hand and the devil in his heart. But for a conflict and a people thousands of miles away, you’d think the R-UK war is right down the street from the posters.
I think between the pandemic, the 2020 riots and election and OSHA mandate, a lot of people just lost their touch with reality. I also believe they “gave up” on America and have fallen for the Prince of Lies and now hoist Putin or Zelinsky on their shoulders.
/rant.
Echolalia? At any event, thanks for the laughs.
Gee, you’re another one who happens to agree with the KGB boy’s propaganda on everything. The Donbas is NOT ethnic Russian. It has a majority of Russian speakers and thousands of those are fighting to liberate their hometowns from the Neo-Soviets. Putin started the fake separatist movement with propaganda, agents, bribes, threats, select disappearances, and finally troops. The Russians are continuing Stalin’s genocide against Ukrainians. Even in the Donbas today, in many small agricultural villages Ukrainian is still spoken and that is also true of some agricultural villages near Rostov. The Russians target the larger towns for the elimination of Ukrainian culture.
Liberate Alchevsk !!!
Death to the invaders !!!
China is the problem. Not russia. While we are depleting on cash and weapon stash..
what is happening there?
The war will be over the third week in Jan 2025 or not long thereafter.
President Trump will sign his energy EO-
oil will hit %50/bbl and Russia/Iran will no longer be able to threaten a swarm of gnats.
I’ll leave the fantastical Saint Putin stuff to you, pal.
or a democrat.
Retard question intended to obfuscate two seperat/different issues.
Different wars, in different places, with differing causes, waring parties, ideology, parties backing the waring sides, and that have different goals, different capabilities.
You may as well be comparing oranges with car tires. Both are round, they must be the same in your mind.
It is surreal. I share your pain.
Nope. The exact match appears to be in the second photo, being loaded onto a Russian bomber.
Forward fins don’t even come close to matching.
