Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, responding to a question about the attack on "Okhmatdyt", urged people to trust the statement from the russian Ministry of Defense rather than the facts. He made this statement in response to a journalist's question. "After yesterday's tragedy at the children's hospital in Kyiv, how can russia continue to claim that the special military operation has no civilian targets?", - the journalist asked.
"I urge you to be guided by the statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, which absolutely excludes the possibility of strikes on any civilian targets, stating that it was the fall of an anti-missile. And we still insist that we do not strike civilian targets", - Peskov predictably denied the aggressor country's responsibility for yet another war crime.
As previously reported, video footage of the missile strike on the children's hospital "Okhmatdyt" clearly shows that the russian cruise missile was not intercepted by Ukrainian air defenses and was deliberately aimed at the hospital. Debris from the missile was found at the impact site. Furthermore, the operation of air defenses during a missile attack cannot be considered the cause of the impact on a particular target. The responsible party is the aggressor.
