Video confirmation that it was intentional

Kh-101 cruise missile debris

Video footage of the missile hitting “Okhmadit” clearly shows that it was the Kh-101 cruise missile.

The characteristic wings on the body and the rounded shape of the nose indicate that it was the Kh-101 strategic missile, which completely refutes the propagandists’ versions of the alleged fall of an air defense missile fired from the Patriot air defense system on the hospital.

Also, the trajectory on which the Kh-101 flies clearly demonstrates that the missile is purposefully going to the target, which was a children’s hospital.

Two people died in the “Okhmatdyt” hospital as a result of an attack by the Russian Federation.

According to the mayor of the city, both are adults. In particular, one doctor.

    It was only a matter of time before Putin caused mass child casualties. I’m only surprised it’s taken this long.

    Unfortunately, I doubt it will make any of his current allies think twice about their support. Most of them wouldn’t hesitate to do the same thing in his position.

    The Russian reliance on terror tactics makes me wonder what lessons they took away from WW2. This is clearly part of a pattern; a military doctrine, that had already been applied during the fighting in Syria, if not earlier.

          Not really the same. Russia sees bombing hospitals as a viable military tactic. In an interview with journalist a woman was saying that she can’t report on all the hospital that Russia bombs because it happens so often that it can’t really be prioritized as big news. I’m talking about numbers in the hundreds last I check. They also did this in Syria.

      The day that a nation (or organisation - ie. NATO) on equal footing with the Russian Federation stands up to them, and metaphorically punches them in the nose; is the day that Russia rethinks its military strategy. Until then, the cost to them are just some stern words.

        They attacked a children’s hospital because it was enthusiastic? (Note: “hamas” is Arabic for enthusiasm)

        How does that justify anything?

      Fascists don’t play by the rules. They just remind you if someone else doesn’t follows it all the time, even if they broke it to a lesser degree. One of the main reason why I’m now extremely skeptical of callouts, and extensive research on both the target and the people doing the callout (sometimes they’re just fascists doing some quite bad impression of the left, to incite infighting).

    Absolute insanity. When I’m seeing these things around the world and now in Ukraine I’m always trying to see a logical explanation, some twisted cynical reasoning for why you bomb these vulnerable civilian targets, and I can’t find anything. It’s just cruelty. Ukrainians aren’t going to surrender because of this, people and nations never have before. It just makes resistance to your war that much more defiant. If you bomb a childrens hospital, it’s just because you want to punish people for not letting you win.

    The second part that hurts is that this changes so little in the grand scheme. Maybe some guy who was living under a rock who was skeptical changes his mind about this invasion. But the vast majority of Russian internet propagandists, pro-Russia politicians in parliaments in the EU and around the world and people blinded by Putins lies will find some pathetic excuse to deny and deflect. And in a week the next atrocity occurs somewhere

      Ukrainians aren’t going to surrender because of this

      Never in the history of modern warfare has bombing of civilian targets “broken the will” of the populace like it’s intended to do. Every time it strengthens their resolve to fight. If you’re trying to conquer somewhere by bombing civilians you’ll have to kill all of them for it to be successful.

      When they do this it’s usually because they’re lashing out. Ukraine must’ve done something in the last week or so that frustrated the Russian forces. I can’t think of what it could be.

      No.

      There are more than enough Russians suffering under Putin’s rule, it’s not their fault.

      Kill Putin, preferably with one of his own methods like polonium poisoning. Let the fucker suffer before he does.

      Do the same with his too aides, and his likely replacements as especially those will be even worse.

      Focus on the humanitarian toll instead, thank you.

          Well apart from how that’s a ridiculous thing to complain about in a community that’s literally called “world news”, this post is absolutely about the humanitarian toll you said they should focus on. So why are you whining about it?

      I’m pretty sure the Kyiv Post isn’t giving the U.S. opinion on Russia bombing a Ukrainian children’s hospital.

      Unless this is a Kyiv Post in Kyiv, Idaho or something. I’m pretty sure it isn’t. And that there is no such place in Idaho.

      What you talk about is a media coverage and political pressure issue. Not-current-world-hegemon doing the same does not make it right to bring the current issue back to media coverage and political pressure issue just because they are kinda the underdog.

      Talk about any imperial power’s or terrorist organizations’ war crimes and crimes against humanity and you wouldn’t find a shortage of evidence to incriminate them to hell and back. They will try to come up with deflective actions like burying the news, denying the facts, crowding the talks, go with whataboutism, or outright bully other countries to denounce one side to protect the crimes of the other. None of it makes direct attack in broad daylight to a hospital located among residential buildings a matter of discussion in a world wide political context.
