On June 27, a Russian X-22 rocket hit an Amstor shopping mall in the city of Kremenchuk. After speaking at a special meeting of the UN Security Council, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky launched an informational counterstrike against Russian propaganda.

What we know

For more than 24 hours, the Kremlin and Russian media have been trying to justify the missile attack on the mall. Traditionally, we heard several ridiculous versions: Ukraine blew up the building itself; there was no explosion; it was all a staged video.

"As of this evening, the total number of Russian missiles hitting our cities is already 2,811. We have all the evidence of what the Russian military is doing against our people. One such proof is in the video. On it you see a missile strike on a shopping mall in Kremenchuk. The Russian missile struck this very facility purposefully. They wanted to kill more people in a peaceful city, in an ordinary shopping center. For this act of state terrorism, as for all others, Russia will be held accountable. On the battlefield in Ukraine, with increased sanctions, and surely in a tribunal," - Vladimir Zelensky

The strike was carried out by a Soviet-made X-22 supersonic cruise missile, which was fired from a Tu-22M3. The aircraft at that time was in the airspace of the Kursk region of Russia.
