Russian propaganda is spreading fake news about deadly barrage in Kherson

Oleksandr Kovalenko, Ukrainian journalist and blogger with the nickname Злой Одессит (Evil Odessite) writes, that Russian strike of Kherson on December 24 “was the bloodiest for the entire period of these terrorist acts. And of course, as soon as reports came out of multiple civilian casualties, Russian propaganda came into play.”

“As is typical for Russian sites, they began to accuse the Ukrainian Armed Forces of shelling Kherson, allegedly with M-142 HIMARS, using cluster munitions,” writes blogger. “But the propaganda forgot to show the debris of BM-21 Grad rockets.”

A major failure of Ukrainian propaganda: publishing photos from today's Kherson with the results of the alleged Russian shelling showed typical damage from HIMARS MLRS shells 

The reasons for the AFU strike on Kherson can only be guesses.

He assumes, that one of the modifications of the 9M22 HE shells was used on December 24, in the Russian strike on Kherson.

“It is the 122-mm BM-21 Grad that is perfectly suited for Russian terrorist strikes — it quickly took up a position, fired off a salvo, and retreated.

In addition, traces of how projectiles scattered clearly indicate a hit coming from the southeast direction, that is, the temporarily occupied left bank of the Dnipro River in Kherson region, which once again emphasizes the mediocrity of the Russian fake news.

Russian disgusting propaganda each time breaks through the bottom of its petty lies. And in each such case, it’s not only the perpetrators of these atrocities who must be held accountable, but also those who justify them. Remember, keyboard monkeys, punishment is awaiting each of you,” writes journalist.
