The Russian army has claimed that an attack on a children’s hospital Was “staged provocation” by Ukraine

In a recent statement made by the Russian army, claims have been made that the attack on children’s hospital was a staged provocation. The statement further states that there was no airstrike that was made in the hospital.

“The Russian aviation carried out absolutely no missions to hit targets on the ground in the Mariupol area,” Russian defence ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said.

“The airstrike that allegedly took place in a completely staged provocation to maintain anti-Russian hype for a Western audience,” he said.

According to the mayor, the maternity hospital bombing resulted in three deaths, one of which was a kid. On Wednesday, Ukrainian police reported that 17 individuals had been hurt.

On February 24th, Russian President Vladimir Putin dispatched hundreds of troops to Ukraine.
