🇷🇺💥🇺🇦 Boris Rozhin on yesterday's strike in Kramatorsk

❗️Fake: Russian troops struck a civilian facility in Kramatorsk, resulting in the death and injury of café visitors. This was reported by Anton Gerashchenko, an advisor to the head of the UKR Ministry of Internal Affairs.

❗️Truth: The strike was carried out on the location of foreign mercenaries who were residing in a hotel in Kramatorsk and dining at the café adjacent to the hotel. Booking services confirm that the hotel was closed to civilian visitors. In September 2022, the Russian Armed Forces already targeted this position of the AFU.

❗️A significant number of individuals in military uniforms and bulletproof vests, as well as military vehicles, are clearly visible in the video from the scene. Moreover, English speech can be distinctly heard. According to information from Russian war correspondents, foreign mercenaries and Ukrainian officers could have been staying at the hotel. Later, confirmations of this information appeared online. One of the volunteers posted joint photos with foreign instructors on her IG page, tagging their accounts and indicating the geolocation. After the shelling, one of those accounts confirmed that the strike happened precisely during the meal of foreign mercenaries.

Tactical insignias of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, such as crosses and runes, are clearly visible on the pickups parked near the hotel. The white cross is the main tactical emblem of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and the runes represent unit insignias. There is also a vehicle belonging to the medical service of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Such vehicles are not used for transporting injured civilians; even in cities close to combat areas, ordinary ambulances are used.

Gerashchenko, aiming to demonize the Russian Armed Forces, posted a photo of vehicles with red crosses. However, other vehicles belonging to the Ukrainian Armed Forces also appeared in the frame. Thus, by his own actions, the faker inadvertently contributed to exposing the falsehood.
