      According to the article, people were trying to pin this on a Ukrainian-fired American-made missile.

      I think the other notable part is the specific kind of missile used. This one should more often than not land within 6m of where you tell it to. If it was actually directly targeting the hospital rather than “just” being a glide bomb flung in the general direction of Kyiv, that’s even worse

      I’m sure most people knew it was Russia from the start, but I saw a comment earlier today that apparently Russia was saying that it was a Ukrainian defense missile that fell out of the air. They are likely just confirming that it was indeed Russia.

        Even if the rocket was a failed defense missile, it wouldn’t have been fired without Russia launching missiles at Ukraine making it Russia’s fault anyway.

      Yeah, some Russian shills tried to claim it was nasams. But those are Amraam missiles that do not carry a payload to do anything near that kind of damage.

      Russkies seriously (whatever that mean for them) claimed it was an ukrainian anti-air missile.
