Russian missile attack in Kryvyi Rih: Ukraine to convene OSCE meeting

At the initiative of Ukraine, the Council of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) will convene for an extraordinary meeting in connection with the Russian Federation's missile strike on Kryvyi Rih on April 4, which killed 20 people.

This was reported by the representative of Ukraine to the OSCE and other international organizations in Vienna, Yuriy Vitrenko, on Facebook.

Vitrenko noted that the meeting will take place on April 8 of this year.

"At the request of Ukraine, in response to the bloody Russian missile attack against children and adults in Kryvyi Rih, as well as the escalation of terror against civilians throughout Ukraine, an extraordinary special session of the Permanent Council will be convened at the OSCE tomorrow (08.04). The swamp delegation will have the ground burning under its feet," the post says.

As is known, Ukraine is outraged by another missile strike on Kryvyi Rih, which killed 20 people, including nine children. The Russian Defense Ministry admitted that it carried out the strike, but stated that it hit a cafe where a military gathering was taking place, and that up to 85 servicemen and officers of foreign countries were allegedly killed there.

On April 7, the Russian dictator's spokesman Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the deaths in Kryvyi Rih, said that Russia was only striking "military and military-related targets." This was his response to journalists' questions about whether this was a mistake on the Russian side or whether the intelligence was inaccurate, since children had died.

"Here I propose to focus entirely on the statement of our Ministry of Defense. Our military strikes exclusively at military or near-military targets. There were no strikes on social facilities," he said.

As "Apostof" wrote, a video from surveillance cameras in a restaurant in Kryvyi Rih was published online, where, according to Russian statements, a person was allegedly eliminated with an Iskander-M missile . "85 NATO officers," and the facility was destroyed. The footage once again proved the blatant distortion of information.
