Ukraine has accussed Russia of striking a children’s hospital in Kiev on Monday but Russia says that photos and videos “from Kiev clearly confirm the fact of destruction due to the fall of a Ukrainian air defense missile launched from an anti-aircraft missile system within the city.”
We have seen this many times from Ukraine since the conflict began in 2022 – almost too many times to count. They mis-use defense systems and hurt civilians, such as when their defense system killed at least two people in Poland. They use the mistake to raise hysterics in the Western press to garner support only to later be found guilty of the mishap.
The Wall Street Journal reported Ukraine’s version of the story accusing Russia of the attack. The press should learn to wait for investigations but they don’t.
A North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit begins today in Washington and NATO members are expected to pledge at least $40 billion annually in military aid for Ukraine.
