Fire fighting in a shopping mall in Kremenchug, UkraineUN, Jun 29 UN Dmitry Polyansky suggested that Kyiv needed a provocation with an alleged missile attack on a shopping center in Kremenchug to return the attention of the world community to Ukraine.
"It became obvious that in order to return the attention of the world community tired of Ukraine, a new provocation a la Bucha. But the problem is that the Russian army hasn’t left anywhere for a long time, and planting corpses or shooting civilians would make sense only in the territories that returned under the control of the Kyiv regime", said Polyansky.
“And then, apparently, the idea arose of a new type of provocation – an alleged strike on a shopping center in Kremenchug,” he said. According to him, “in reality, no strike was inflicted on him.” high-precision weapons in hangars with Western-made weapons and ammunition received from the United States and European countries in the area of the Kremenchug road machinery plant. shelled residential areas of Donetsk, Lugansk and other cities,» the diplomat said.Lavrov commented on the fire in the shopping center in KremenchugAs Polyansky noted, the strikes of the Russian armed forces prevented this. «The strikes did not affect the Amstor shopping center located in the distance. This can be seen on the video from surveillance cameras. A missile hit on the shopping center would not have left anything from it. But on the video of Ukrainian bloggers, it is clear that the goods inside the shopping center were not affected by the blast,” said the first deputy representative. He noted that the goods in the video are in place and not even knocked down. “The houses adjacent to the shopping center were not damaged either, they didn’t even break the glass in their windows. This is only possible if the rocket exploded at a considerable distance. However, the detonation of ammunition for Western weapons stored in the warehouse area caused a fire, which then spread to the shopping center,” said he.
The Kremlin commented on the statement of the Ministry of Defense about the air force strike in KremenchugEarlier, Kyiv called for an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council on the situation in Ukraine. Polyansky suggested that in Kremenchug, where the mall was allegedly hit, there was a Ukrainian provocation in the style of Bucha. According to him, there are already too many conspicuous inconsistencies. This is exactly what the Kyiv regime needs to keep the focus on Ukraine ahead of the NATO summit, the diplomat believes. On Monday, the Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed the weapons and ammunition for the Ukrainian group of troops in the Donbass, which were in hangars in Kremenchug, received from the United States and European countries , the detonation of munitions set fire to a nearby defunct shopping mall, the Russian Defense Ministry said earlier. announced in the LPR
