RUSSIA: “The nature of damage to the hospital can mislead the mass audience in Europe & US—For which this performance was made. But not experts. A high-explosive aviation ammunition, even of lower power, simply would not have left anything from the outer walls of the building”
“Photographs of the hospital grounds contain evidence of two separate staged explosions near the hospital. Buried underground and another small power directed to the hospital building”
“The analysis of the statements of reps of Kiev nationalist regime, photographic materials from the hospital, leaves no doubt. The alleged “airstrike” that took place is a completely orchestrated provocation to maintain anti-Russian excitement among Western audiences”
“We have repeatedly stated earlier that the medical institutions of Mariupol, including the hospital № 3, stopped their full-time work at the end of February. All staff and patients dispersed by nationalists”
“The hospital building, due to its favorable tactical location close to the city center, was converted into a stronghold of the Azov National Battalion. This is massively reported by residents of the city, who moved both to the controlled Kyiv and areas controlled by the DPR”
