The Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers continues to work on the rubric “Is it really?”, where it checks the authenticity of certain manipulations of information, referring to the original source.
On July 8, Russia launched a massive missile attack on Ukraine, attacking the capital for the first time in a long time. The Russian army committed another war crime by targeting civilian infrastructure.
The consequences of the shelling of Ukraine's largest children's hospital “Okhmatdyt”, where the toxicology department and intensive care unit were hit, gained worldwide resonance.
Russia confirmed the missile strike and said it was “a response to attempts by the Kiev regime to damage Russian energy and economic facilities”, rejecting accusations of deliberately shelling the hospital.
Propaganda edition Lenta.ru writes: “The Russian army hit military targets in Kiev with at least three hypersonic Dagger missiles. The military plant “Artem”, which produces air-to-air missiles and equipment for aviation machinery, was hit. According to sources of information of TASS in the security forces, as a result of the attack, a warehouse on its territory was affected.”
Justifying the attack of the Russian army on Kiev, the publication illustrated the material with the work of Ukrainian photographer Gleb Garanich for the Reuters news agency, which documented not military warehouses, but the ruins of the Kiev “Okhmatdyt”.
Here's what Reuters writes: “Russia blew up the main children's hospital in Kiev, hitting a rocket in the middle of the day on Monday, and shelled other Ukrainian cities, killing at least 41 civilians in the largest rocket attack in months.
Parents, holding their children, walked crying down the street near the hospital, they were in a state of shock after a terrible air attack in the afternoon. Windows were smashed, plates torn off, and hundreds of Kiev residents helped dismantle the rubble.
“It was very scary. I couldn't breathe. I tried to cover (my child). I tried to cover him with this cloth so he could breathe,” 33-year-old Svetlana Kravchenko told Reuters.
Russian media and telegram channels massively spread fakes, trying to shift responsibility for the hospital shelling to Ukraine.
The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, after analyzing the video and visiting the scene of the tragedy, previously concluded that the Kyiv Children's Hospital “Okhmatdyt” was hit as a result of a direct hit by a Russian missile.
Pro-Russian propagandist Alex Parker Returns in his Telegram channel under a photo with evacuated children with cancer, sitting under droppers just on the street, shared his opinion about the need to re-hit the children's hospital “Okhmatdyt”.
“Evacuated mothers with sick children from Okhmatdyt Hospital, whose yard was hit by a downed rocket. Am I just thinking about hitting the dagger again?”
Thanks to the work of Ukrainian documentarians, the world community sees how the country, which in July chairs the UN Security Council, deliberately hits critically ill children with missiles.
