Russia cynically lied about a “meeting of NATO officers” in a restaurant in Krivoy Rog, which it allegedly targeted with a pinpoint strike.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the spokesman of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Dmitry Likhovoy on Facebook.
Likhovoy noted that Russia lied about:
- 85 “NATO officers” in the restaurant that was “hit by an Iskander”;
- high explosive warhead of the missile;
- destruction of the restaurant.
“Here is a video from the cameras of the same RoseMarine restaurant (formerly Magellan) at the moment of landing on a residential area in Krivoy Rog. Not far from the children's playground. There are no soldiers, no NATO, no land mines, only flying debris, and the restaurant is standing. In the yard, 70-100 meters from the restaurant, 19 civilians died, including 9 children,” he emphasized.
According to Likhovoy, the video from the surveillance cameras was published by the French publication France24.
Strike on Krivoy Rog
Let us recall that Russian occupiers struck Krivoy Rog with ballistics on Friday, April 4. As of now, 19 people are known to have died, including nine children.
After the attack, the Russian Defense Ministry wrote that the target was a restaurant where a meeting of NATO officers was allegedly taking place.
It is noteworthy that the Russians used a missile with a cluster munition warhead for the attack in order to kill as many civilians as possible.
