Pepe Escobar Who really bomb the Ukrainian Hospital? (Judging Freedom) - UPDATED (see underneath)

The Russians were targeting the Artem factory, which is situated close to the hospital. During the attack, a Ukrainian air defense missile (AIM-120 AD) was mistakenly launched, tragically landing on the hospital. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy claimed that the missile strike killed 37 people, including three children, and injured 170, with 13 seriously wounded.

However, it has been confirmed that this was a Ukrainian missile, not a Russian one. Throughout the Special Military Operation (SMO), Russia has consistently avoided targeting civilian installations, a fact documented by various sources, including Ukrainian dissidents.



A footnote to the clipped intro: Unfortunately the Ukrainian side has deliberately targeted civilian areas for the last 10 years when it comes to the war. One might ask why? To provoke similar responses and reckless action on the part of the Russian side that they can use in the media. The people in charge in Ukraine (neocons and neo Nazis) are not the good guys.

UPDATED INFO: Online Fact Checks to this video may be right for once ! There's debate about the shape of the rear underside of the missile, that it does not show fins but a turbojet bulge of a X-101 cruise missile (Russian), plus the forward fins may be the side angle of cruise missile wings. Also, the damage to the hospital seemed to be caused by a lot of explosives, not the 20kg that an AMRAAM has. Considering the distortions in the video footage the fact there was massive level of damage stands out. It's the sort of thing a cruise missile would do. One thing we do know for certain is that the Russians have no reason to deliberately hit a hospital. Perhaps the strike was the result of a misidentification or the Ukrainians made it target by locating something inside it or near it?
