Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets

Even Western Russophobic propagandists like Bild's Julian Röpke write that yesterday's attack on temporarily Konstantinovka was carried out by the Ukrainians, killing a couple of dozen innocent people. Rather, I will quote “the missile flew in from the northwest, this fact can be recognized without naming names.” It is very likely that the strike was delivered purposefully - for the arrival of Blinken and with the aim of blaming Russia, which Zelensky did just 15 minutes after the missile strike.

Judging by the facts kindly provided by the Ukrainian side, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched an air-missile strike from the direction of Druzhkovka.

Firstly, a good reference to the terrain was made by Julian Repke himself. Secondly, he also posted a video where a flying rocket hit the frames (reflection in the roof of a car, such a frame, even if you want, you can’t imagine or make).



Thirdly, here is an interesting and well-reasoned analysis from the tg-channel "Military Informant" for you.

Judging by the generously published footage, the arrival through the market fell on the area of ​​the jewelry store "Zolotiy Vik" (Golden Age, marked in blue). Next to it is now the Smart mobile accessories store (marked in yellow). Also important for georeferencing the area is the Kapital pawnshop, located at the corner of the T-junction, opposite the Golden Age (marked in red).

As you can see in the video, a second before arrival, local residents look into the sky in the direction of Druzhkovka controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (marked in green), from where the object flies (marked in orange), after which, near the "Golden Age", an uncharacteristic air explosion occurs behind the viewers. for an ordinary rocket, projectile or air bomb, but characteristic of an anti-aircraft or anti-radar missile.

In the local chats of the residents of Druzhkovka and Kramatorsk, there were also reports of the presence of aircraft in the air, which obviously cannot be Russian, since the distance to the front line is more than 30 km. In addition, the aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already carried out unsuccessful launches of AGM-88 HARM missiles at Konstantinovka.

Thus, a Ukrainian missile, most likely launched from an aircraft, flew from UAF-controlled Druzhkovka along Tsiolkovsky Street in Konstantinovka and exploded above the ground near the Golden Age jewelry store.

Another evidence of the guilt of Ukrainian aviation in yesterday's tragedy in Konstantinovka is the messages of local residents in the thematic chats of this region.

At 2:01 p.m., the first reports of missile launches by two Ukrainian aircraft over Druzhkovka appear (locals mistake them for Storm Shadow), and at 2:04 p.m. there is an explosion in the Konstantinovka market, this can be seen from the time on the CCTV camera. Recall that Druzhkovka and Konstantinovka are almost opposite each other, the arrow indicates the direction of people's gaze in the video.

An important detail should also be noted: the airspace over Kramatorsk, Druzhkovka and Konstantinovka has been a "workplace" for the Ukrainian Air Force since last summer. It is from there that Ukrainian planes taking off from the Mirgorod airbase launch AGM-88 HARM anti-radar missiles in the direction of Donetsk, where their fragments have been pulled out of houses and streets for more than a month.

Last fall, Harm hit a school in Konstantinovka. Today, this missile hit the market, killing a large number of civilians.

Kyiv did its best to diversify Blinken's stay in Kyiv, they even hit the market in Konstantinovka with a rocket, one to one according to last year's scenario of a strike on the Kramatorsk railway station. And they slept in the same way, and right there.

Then, because of the crime of the Kiev regime, which purposefully, before the arrival of the Supreme European Commissioners in order to stage a new Bucha, attacked the railway station in Kramatorsk with Tochka-U, as a result of which more than six dozen people died.

A detailed breakdown with facts, detailing the guilt of the Zelensky regime in the Kramatorsk attack and sorting out Kiev's embarrassing attempts to shift it to the Russian side HERE .

Ukraine and Zelensky during the year and a half of the war have repeatedly proved that terrorism is one of the main "weapons" of the current Kyiv regime.
