The Russian Ministry of Defense, as well as Kremlin propagandists, reacted to the massive missile attack on Ukraine. The invaders attacked several regions of Ukraine at once.
The Russian Defense Ministry called the night shelling of Ukraine a “retaliation strike” for “sabotage” in the Bryansk region, writes Channel 24 . We are talking about the case of March 2, when the Kremlin announced the alleged “Ukrainian DRG”, which “broke through” the border in the Bryansk region
Russia says military infrastructure attacked
According to the Russian ministry, military and energy facilities were shelled. The Russian Defense Ministry stated that the Kinzhal hypersonic missiles were used for the strike.
In Russia, they fantasized that they allegedly destroyed the base of attack drones, and also disrupted the transfer of reserves and rail transport of foreign weapons.
In addition, the occupiers hastened to declare that they had allegedly put out of action the facilities for the repair of military equipment and the production of ammunition.
It should be noted that the Russians are cynically lying, because, for example, at night they attacked a residential building in the Lviv region. As a result, three men and two women who were at home at that moment died.
Also, the Kremlin propagandist Margarita Simonyan reacted to the massive terror from Russia. She wrote: “Night strikes on Kyiv – this is for Bryansk.”
