President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the number of possible victims was “unimaginable,'' adding that the target presented “no threat to the Russian army” and had “no strategic value.” Another missile hit a local sports arena, an Ukrainian official said.

At this point, this is just terrorism.
Right what America is doing in Iraq, Libya, Yemen.
👍👊👍👊👍👊👍👊👍👊👍👊👍🇷🇺….
At this point, I extremely worried that Russia is going to go to war with the US.
@GT500 lol, don’t you see what is happening?
@Gary Stanfield I see that Russia is dominating the battlefield, I see the US using cowardly tactics by trying to fight a proxy war and is failing badly

Fake: The Russian military shelled the Amstor shopping center in Kremenchug. This was reported by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.
Fake: The Amstor shopping center is located near the Kremenchug road machine plant and the Kremenchug railway station. In one of the videos people seem to think that the missile hit exactly the plant (the phrase “Dormash, Dormash”). In addition, according to sources familiar with the special operation, the Amstor shopping mall was used as a warehouse for military equipment, just like the Retroville shopping mall in Kiev.
The Kremenchuk station is one of the most important railway junctions in Ukraine; it connects the central and western parts of the country. In addition, Kremenchug is home to the locomotive depot (TCh-6) and the Kremenchug power supply department (TCh-8). The station is actively used to supply fuel from the Kremenchug Oil Refinery for the needs of the AFU.
The Kremenchug road machine plant is located 90 meters away from the shopping center. Since 2014, the plant has been repairing equipment for the needs of the AFU. A railway branch line from Kremenchug station leads to the plant.
Vladimir Zelensky said that there were about a thousand civilians in the mall, but the parking lot in front of the mall was practically empty, with few cars on it. Moreover, among the people walking around the parking lot, a lot of military men in “pixel” uniforms (regular AFU shirts, camouflage bags), some of them armed with submachine guns, were noticeable. At the same time, in the video footage posted by Zelensky, as well as in the clips on social networks, there are almost no women.
It doesn’t look like the mall was working at all. On Instagram (the social network is recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation), by the geotag “Amstor shopping center” there are no photos of visitors from March. Reviews on websites and Google maps stopped in March as well. Apparently, the center was used to store equipment repaired at Dormash.
Despite the unconfirmed nature of Zelensky’s statement about the thousand visitors inside the mall and the official information about the two dead, the international media quickly picked up the news exactly in the context of “a Russian missile that struck the mall with 1,000 visitors.
A NATO summit will be held in the next few days, during which Vladimir Zelensky intends to ask for military assistance. Now the Ukrainian authorities are preparing the ground to make a new Bucha out of Amstor
Sure , make sure that you have both angles covered…….Wont matter , Russia could not be blamed if it was not there , and if you think the result will be much more advanced weapons announced immediately , faster shipping will no tolerance for feet dragging like Germany….Then you are 100% correct !
Hello, Gorgeous how are you doing today?
Thanks Putin…..Russian soldiers…..advanced weapons incoming by the cargo ship load !
Omg
putin and his regime is so evil. GOD said in Galatians 6:7 ”Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”. May the LORD judge putin and his evil regime. LORD, bring Peace to Ukraine, protect, bless your people, we pray….
Amen.
Funny how no security cameras from the street or the mall captured the moment
I hear people complaining about the $40 billion we have sent to Ukraine. They might consider this. Our nation is obligated to defend 90% of Europe. Ukraine is helping prevent an attack that could lead to a nuclear exchange between the U.S. and Russia. Would you rather have that or wouldn’t it be better to spend that $40 billion?
Ukraine is finished boi , nothing will help them
Shout out to my boy Putin, keep doing what you’re doing fam
My life has totally changed since I started an investment of $6,000 and now earning over $19,000.
@Niaya BlackwellAny amount of your choice, but the higher you
Wow ! I
I just looked her up on google and she’s a licensed
@Mathew sofia I found that she is a *scammer* and reported her to the *FBI*
How do you know it was a Russian missile?
Receipts please!
Is this the mall where Uk was selling their nlaws?
We can guess that Zelensky don’t know the true natural of a war that he chose to engage in with Russia. The mall bombing is an unfortunate consequence or collateral damage of a bomb that fell short of or overshot the intended target. America has more pressing issues on its own soil to tend to.
You know it’s bad when even the trolls can’t find an excuse to justify it
Such a waste
