      According to the article, people were trying to pin this on a Ukrainian-fired American-made missile.

      I think the other notable part is the specific kind of missile used. This one should more often than not land within 6m of where you tell it to. If it was actually directly targeting the hospital rather than “just” being a glide bomb flung in the general direction of Kyiv, that’s even worse

            Where in that article does it say it was bombed deliberately? And by Putin?

            The first explosions were the bombs placed by the attackers themselves. The fighting afterwards was as expected.

              Sure. Putin was totally innocent. Just like he was totally innocent when he ordered a theater full of hostages gassed, right? The hostage-takers gassed themselves I’m sure.

                Why are you getting cynical now?

                I asked where it states that Putin bombed the school. Your own source contradicts your comment. So please explain.

                    They wore explosive belts. That’s why i supect they intended to blow themself up. Sure, I could be wrong. But then you got to find better sources.

      I’m sure most people knew it was Russia from the start, but I saw a comment earlier today that apparently Russia was saying that it was a Ukrainian defense missile that fell out of the air. They are likely just confirming that it was indeed Russia.

        Even if the rocket was a failed defense missile, it wouldn’t have been fired without Russia launching missiles at Ukraine making it Russia’s fault anyway.

      Yeah, some Russian shills tried to claim it was nasams. But those are Amraam missiles that do not carry a payload to do anything near that kind of damage.

      Russkies seriously (whatever that mean for them) claimed it was an ukrainian anti-air missile.
