Hundreds of people rushed to clear debris at the hospital, where windows had been smashed and panels ripped off. Parents holding babies walked in the street outside, dazed and sobbing after the rare daylight aerial attack.

“It was scary. I couldn’t breathe, I was trying to cover (my baby). I was trying to cover him with this cloth so that he could breathe,” Svitlana Kravchenko, 33, said.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia fired more than 40 missiles, damaging residential and commercial buildings and infrastructure in Kyiv, his home city of Kryvyi Rih, the central city of Dnipro and two eastern cities.

Ten people were killed and 35 wounded in the main wave of attacks on Kyiv, authorities said. Some two hours later, debris from another missile attack hit a different hospital in Kyiv, killing four more and injuring three more, the emergency services said.

Moscow has repeatedly denied targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, although its attacks have killed thousands of civilians since it launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.

      Because they don’t give a shit about anything that doesn’t make Biden look bad. It’s the same reason you never see them on posts critical of Trump.

        Also, they haven’t been assigned their copy-pasta wall of links that shows this incident is a false flag operation or that it was actually a hoax orchestrated by NATO.

          Yep. It’s always eerily quiet right after something happens that suits their narrative. It’s almost as if they don’t have the collective brain space to know how to react or what to say until they’re fed their directives.

          Then, it’s a clusterfuck of teenaged edgelords whining about shit that everyone knows they didn’t care about less than a year ago.

            I am not going to post any links here, but a good place to find their narrative starting propagate is on far-right social networks. In some cases, there will be complete silence, like an event never happened. In others, all you need to do is track the accounts of foreign “reporters” or talking heads that still have access to those platforms.

            And yeah, the teenaged edgelords will pick up the slack shortly after. It takes about a day or so for the conspiracy theories to propagate.

            This particular incident is probably going to spawn “wHaT aBoUt dOnbASs?” type trolling, if I had to guess.
