Russian Denials Contradict Evidence of Kyiv Hospital Strike
ai generated text
The recent strike on the Okhmatdyt children's hospital in Kyiv has sparked controversy over Russia's involvement. According to reports, Russian missiles struck several targets across Ukraine, including the hospital, which suffered a direct hit. The Ukrainian government declared a day of mourning following the deadly attack. Russia has dismissed claims that it was involved in the strike, with Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov attributing the damage to Ukraine's anti-missile fire. However, evidence suggests otherwise, as BBC Verify conducted visual analysis of the strike and found links to Russia. The report highlights inconsistencies in Russia's explanation, including the lack of anti-missile fire debris at the scene.
The experts' conclusions are unequivocal – it was a direct strike.
It's quite a dangerous tool that is part of psychological operations. And we have to remember that both Ukraine and Russia come from a Soviet tradition where intelligence services, including the KGB, were very much involved in forgeries, spreading misinformation and disinformation through different institutions.
Whatever we see presented by both sides, we have to be very careful. Unless there is an independent team that is not on the Russian side and not on the Ukrainian side that investigates these incidents, I believe it's very difficult to get to the bottom of what exactly happens.
