The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine called the statements of the Russian Ministry of Defense false, that the alleged strike on Kryvyi Rih was a hit on "the place where the commanders of the Ukrainian Armed Forces units were meeting with Western instructors." In fact, the aggressor country once again attacked the civilian population.
Points of attention
- The General Staff emphasizes that Russia's attempt to cover up the attack as a targeted military meeting is another instance of spreading false information.
- The heinous attack on civilian population is considered a war crime and evidence will be presented to international criminal justice for accountability.
The General Staff responded to Russia's new lie
According to the Ukrainian military, on April 4, Russian invaders struck Kryvyi Rih with an Iskander-M ballistic missile with a cluster warhead.
What is important to understand is that it is designed to affect a larger area and a larger number of people.
Now the military department of the aggressor country is trying to cover up its cynical crime with a “highly accurate” lie about hitting “the location of a meeting of the commanders of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with Western instructors.” We declare that Russia is again spreading false information, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces emphasizes.
This time, a residential area and a playground were hit by a Russian missile.
According to the latest data, 19 people died, 9 of them children.
The terrorist attacks injured 68 people, ranging from a three-month-old baby to the elderly. 40 people are currently hospitalized.
These committed war crimes have no statute of limitations. The relevant evidence will be transferred to the bodies of international criminal justice. The enemy will definitely be held accountable for what they have done. Sincere condolences to the families and loved ones of the deceased… — the statement of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reads.
