Russia continues “rocket terror” against civilians in Ukraine
On the morning of October 10, Russia captured Ukrainian cities with massive rocket fire in response to an explosion on one of the spans of the bridge across the Kerch Strait connecting the Russian-occupied Ukrainian Crimean peninsula to the mainland.
On February 24, Russia claimed that the shelling “was a response to Kyiv’s ‘terrorism’.”
Putin said strikes were excluded from “legitimate” targets and vulnerabilities.
“This morning, at the suggestion of the Ministry of Defense and the grand plan of the Secretary General of Russia, to launch a mass strike with a high-precision requirement for air, sea and land-based range at the energy, military command and communications facility of Ukraine,” Putin announced.
This false statement by Putin is recounted in yet another research material from the Polygraph project, an online resource created by Voice of America to prevent spreading lies and propaganda in European media and social networks (Polygraph.info).
Some of the missile strikes actually hit military and energy facilities. However, the probability of loss in the accounts of the population and cultural objects.
Deliberate destruction of objects and population of Ukraine
In the action of Ukraine – Kyiv, the actions of witnesses, photo and video identification of various sources, including foreign ones, proving that museums, administrative buildings, pedestrian bridges, parks, playgrounds, discovered intersections and residential areas were used from rocket fire.
According to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the shelling on October 10 was “the largest missile attack since the beginning of the hot phase of the war.”
Ukraine said more than 80 missiles were used in the bombing, including “land, sea and air-launched cruise missiles” and a dozen Iranian-made Shahed-136 kamikaze drones.
Despite the fact that Kyiv is already far from the front line, he was hit.
Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko announced the defeat of 45 residential buildings, including three schools, one kindergarten and two school institutions for extended day care, six cultural institutions, five health facilities, five “critical private private and housing and communal services.”
Ukrainian officials said at least 19 people and more than 100 victims were injured. Outside Kyiv, Russia strikes the cities of Lvov in western Ukraine, Kharkiv in the north, Dnipro and Zaporozhye in central Ukraine, and the black port of Odessa.
Among the targets was the Taras Shevchenko Park in central Kyiv, a missile crater now gaping next to a playground. Also involved are the nearby National Museum of Art of Bogdan and Varvara Khanenko – an art museum in Kyiv – the most prominent collection of foreign art in Ukraine and Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
Not far from the university campus, a park and other cultural sites, a Russian missile hit the intersection of Volodymyrska Street and Taras Shevchenko Boulevard, which is always quite busy. It happened at rush hour – at 8 o’clock in the morning. The cruise missile exploded, incinerating cars, killing more than a dozen people.
Russia hit the pedestrian bridge in Khreshchaty Park and damaged the building of the National Philharmonic of Ukraine. There was also an unexpected strike on the tower of the 101 Tower business center, which housed the office and research center of the Korean electronics company Samsung.
Users of social networks noted that the visa department of the German consulate is located on the 22nd floor of the Tower 101 business center tower, but Taras Mishchenko, editor-in-chief of the Ukrainian edition of Mezha Media, said that the consulate was temporarily closed.
Matthew Laxmoore of the Wall Street Journal reported that the Russian attack on Lvov “delivered halfway without water, electricity and the internet.”
Kyiv has not officially announced the incident over the explosion of the strip on the Crimean bridge, according to the Associated Press, although the ambassador to the UK
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said about the infection of Russia that Putin found “was provoked to launch another series of missile strikes.”
“Russia and “up to the bridge” constantly fired rockets at Ukraine. Putin is desperate over defeats on the battlefield and uses a chance incident to turn the tide of the war in his use. This nonsense that Putin was “provoked” must stop. He does not need to be “provoked” by anything to commit heinous crimes. I ask media publications to finally shift the blame to the victim of aggression, suggesting that Putin is “responding” or “provoking,” he tweeted.
“Business card” of the Kremlin war criminals
Volodymyr Zelensky called the systematic shelling of Russia in the vicinity of Ukrainian cities “rocket terror”.
Zelensky has already said that Russia launched 2,960 rockets on Ukrainian cities, in search of “the main targets of the rocket are civilian objects.”
in Russia there is widespread accusation of indiscriminate bombing or deliberate targeting of civilian targets. One of the most terrorist episodes was the war of airstrikes in Russian aviation on March 16, 2022 against the Donetsk Academic Regional Drama Theater in Mariupol, where peaceful oceans took refuge while entering Russia. As a result, up to 600 people died from the bomb dropped on Russia.
As Polygraph.info previously reported, in connection with the war in Chechnya, and ending with a civil war in medicine, indiscriminate bombing of targets may have been a monstrous “calling card” of Russian warfare tactics.
Amid this latest rocket attack, the Organization’s General Assembly collapsed to adopt a possible response to Russia’s annexation of four Ukrainian regions last month.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres said he was “deeply shocked” by large-scale rocket attacks on cities and civilian areas throughout Russia and across Ukraine.
“This is yet another unacceptable escalation of the war and, as always, civilians are paying for the right to vote,” he said.
The rocket attacks continue the next day, October 11, according to the Associated Press:
“The bombing on Tuesday struck [снова], both energy infrastructure and civilian areas, just like it was on Monday. According to the State Service of Ukraine on alleged cases, one person died when twelve rockets hit civilian targets, causing a major fire in the city of Zaporozhye in southern Ukraine.”
“According to local health authorities, rockets hit a school, homes and medical facilities,” the agency said.
