Russian dictator Vladimir Putin found an explanation for the attacks on public facilities in Sumy and Kryvyi Rih, which killed dozens of people, including children.
He reported this to the propaganda media.
According to him, a facility in Sumy was hit where military personnel had gathered to receive awards. This was a "punishment" for activities in the Kursk region.
"There was an awarding of those who committed crimes in the Kursk region. Both units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and nationalists. This was done precisely to punish them. This is a civilian facility. But the regime uses these civilian facilities," he said.
He also explained the attack on a restaurant in Kryvyi Rih in a similar way, where 20 people died on a nearby playground, including nine children.
"People who deserve the most serious punishment for crimes are holding some kind of gathering in the restaurant. They are holding gatherings, meetings, conferences in the restaurant, celebrating something there, drinking vodka, and so on. That's where the attack was also made. Are these civilian facilities?" he said.
As is known, the main impact of the rocket fell on a children's playground, and in the RoseMarine restaurant, in particular, an event for beauty industry workers was taking place. There was no information about the military gathering.
As Apostrophe wrote, on April 7, the Russian dictator's spokesman Dmitry Peskov answered journalists' questions about whether it was a mistake on the Russian side or whether the intelligence was inaccurate , because children died in Kryvyi Rih. He stated that Russia strikes only at "military and military facilities."
US President Donald Trump also stated that Russia could have carried out a ballistic attack on Sumy by mistake.
