#Ukrainian officials confirm so far 2 people killed & 20 wounded, while #Zelenskyy claimed that there were more than 1,000 civilians inside this #Kremenchuk shopping mall. It's located next to machinery factory. Russia hit many such factories in #Ukraine. google.com/maps/place/Ams…
New AP report: "At least 13 people were dead and more than 40 wounded, according to the regional governor, Dmytro Lunin, who said that rescuers were continuning to comb the smoldering debris for more victims."
#Russian defense ministry admits missile strike in #Kremenchuk in #Ukraine & claims that shopping mall caught fire after missiles hit weapon storage hangars in machine factory area. This admission of missile strikes disproves evidence-free claims that this was false flag attack.
Security camera video in front of machine factory shows 2 #Russian missile strikes in #Kremenchuk in #Ukraine. Google Earth location of camera & building shows that 1st missile hit shopping mall/machine factory area, while another hit machine factory. #UkraineRussiaWar#Russia
Google Earth locations of security camera & #Kramatorsk building show that first #Russian missile hit shopping mall/nearby machine factory area, while another hit machine factory. #Ukraine#Russia
Contrary to claims by #Russian defense ministry & self-proclaimed experts, eyewitnesses report that #Kremenchuk shopping center was open & that they and many other shoppers & personnel remained there during missile strike shortly after air sirens warning. strana.news/news/397406-oc…
Evidence so far suggests that this was apparently indiscriminate #Russian missile strike in #Kremenchuk. Missiles hit machine factory & hit or impacted nearby shopping mall. Evidence suggests that civilians were not deliberately targeted & that this was not false flag attack.
Videos/photos of missile crater, debris & other signs of direct impact or their absence would be definite and easily produced evidence showing whether 1st #Russian missile hit #Kremenchuk shopping mall directly or if it ignited from missile impact of machine factory next to it.
#Zelenskyy in his vide address just showed machine factory security camera video of first #Russian missile strike in #Kremenchuk shopping mall area in #Ukraine

As I suggested for more that two decades: "The European Commission has recommended that Ukraine and Moldova should be granted European Union candidate status, a first step in the long process of accession." 1/ rferl.org/a/ukraine-geor…
"Launching accession talks requires unanimous approval from all member countries. EU leaders leaders are expected to approve Ukraine's candidate status at their June 23-24 summit, but with stern conditions attached, and membership may take years or even decades." Or never. 2/
