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.

The KH101 is a cruise missile with about 1700 pounds of explosives aboard.

From Wikipedia:

...and is equipped with a 400 kg (880 lb) high-explosive, penetrating, or cluster warhead, ...

Question: Did you read 880 lbs as 880 kilograms and translate that to about 1700 pounds?

This is Hamas' level propaganda.

And, can the Ukrainians be anymore hypocritical after their attack on those at a beach in Crimea, one that was nowhere near a military target? Or have 10 years of targeting civilians in Donetsk?

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.

LOL! Re-Animator Alert!

“Russia has never evolved from their Mongol Horde roots.”

You seem to have a bug up your butt about Mongols. Seems to be anti-Asian racism.

“He said Ukraine’s survival is important to us.”

Yes, and the best way to ensure that is peace negotiations. I support President Trump in his efforts to bring them about. Eventually, barring NATO intervention, Ukraine will run out of manpower and collapse if the war is not ended.

These peaceful Russians under direct orders from Vladimir Gandhi Putin used thermobaric weapons during the school siege in Beslan incinerating 186 children.

So it’s no surprise that the Russians deliberately target schools and hospitals in Ukraine.

I’m disappointed in the number of people who support robbing me and mine to send taxpayer money to foreign countries with zero accountability, zero auditing, and zero recoupment while simultaneously ignoring our own borders, child trafficking, taxes, spending, and vote fraud.
I’m disappointed in the number of people who insist that disagreement equals “you’re secretly russian!!1!”
That alone is a leftist trait.

“Russia as a nation is not deliberately targeting civilians,”

What the hell are you smoking?

Your beloved mother russia has deliberately targeted civilians ever since that closet homo dwarf dictator putin came to power.

In 2002, your boi Putin ordered chemical weapons to be used during the Moscow theatre siege murdering 132 hostages.

In 2004 your boi Putin ordered thermobaric weapons to be used during the Beslan school siege murdering 334 hostages 156 of which were children.

Not to mention the atrocities committed by by Russian troops (claiming to be separatists) in the Donbass beginning in 2014, the atrocities committed in Syria, and elsewhere.

His post was 1000$ on the money.

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.
