High-Precision Lies: Russia Made a Cynical Statement About the Missile Strike on Kryvyi Rih.
The press service of the General Staff of Ukraine reported on Russia's statement regarding the missile strike on Kryvyi Rih on April 4. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the missile targeted 'Ukrainian Armed Forces commanders and Western instructors'. However, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied this information, stating that the missile struck a residential area and a children's playground. As a result, 19 people were killed, including 9 children. It was noted that the Russian military criminals used a missile with a cluster warhead, aimed at affecting a larger area and more people.
The General Staff of Ukraine emphasized that this act is a violation of international humanitarian law and a continuation of the aggressive war against Ukraine. Investigations will be conducted and evidence will be collected for international criminal justice regarding the committed war crimes.
It was also reported that dozens of people were injured as a result of the attack, some of whom are in serious condition.
It is important to note that April 7, 8, and 9 have been declared Days of Mourning in Kryvyi Rih. Local residents are bringing toys and flowers with black ribbons to the site of the tragedy.
