23 Dead, including children after Ukrainian missile strike hits civilians in Donetsk
Thursday, March 17, 2022 by: News Editors
Authorities are reporting 23 civilians dead, including children,
after a Ukrainian missile strike against a civilian center in the
Russian-speaking city of Donetsk. Western mainstream media has neglected
to report on the alleged attack on civilians while the Ukrainian
Government is denying it ever happened. However, extensive video footage
has been released documenting the strike and its casualties.

The Russian defense ministry and Donetsk authorities report that 23
civilians were killed in a Ukrainian missile attack on the city of
Donetsk, the capital of the Donestk People’s Republic. An additional 28
civilians have been reported wounded in what those on the Russian side
of the conflict are calling a war crime.
Donetsk, along with several other Russian-speaking regions of
Ukraine, broke away from the nation in 2014 after its elected
pro-Russian government was overthrown in a “revolution” backed by George
Soros and Barack Obama. Ukraine has been in chaos ever since and the
Russian state has accused the Ukrainians of committing genocide against
the Russian-speaking population, though it should be noted that these
claims have not been verified.
In one video clip of
the alleged Ukrainian missile strike taken from a surveillance camera,
civilians in Donetsk can be seen in what appears to be a bank. Business
is seen carrying on as usual in the clip before its subjects are
suddenly thrown to the floor and windows are blasted out of the building
as the missile landed nearby.
Outside,
a bus stop in the city center had been ravaged and dead civilians,
including children, dotted the street. Some citizens could be seen
frantically mourning the losses as emergency workers responded.
“People were waiting in line near an ATM and were standing at a bus
stop,” Denis Pushilin, the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic told the media. “There are children among the dead,” he went on to say.
The Russian side claims the missile was a Ukrainian Tochka-U rocket
and was designed to act as a “cluster munition” capable of detonating
above the city of Donetsk to inflict maximum damage. To the contrary, at
least one pro-Russian separatist leader says the Ukrainian missile was
actually intercepted and shot down, breaking into pieces as a result.
On the other hand, the Ukrainians deny the missile came from them,
and say there is no point in even talking about it. “It is unmistakably a
Russian rocket or another munition, there’s not even any point talking
about it,” Leonid Matyukhin, a Ukrainian military spokesman, told media
during a briefing, suggesting the missile attack was a false flag.
As the Russo-Ukrainian War has unfolded in recent weeks, Western media and social networks have sought to tightly control the
narrative coming out of embattled regions, censoring combat footage and
other news that paints the Ukrainian side in a bad light, while
likening the Russians to German Nazis in World War 2.
As previously reported by
National File, Americans and other Western volunteers who travelled to
Ukraine to aid in the war effort have reported horrifying experiences
and brutality among the Ukrainian forces. One American volunteer
described his harrowing experience on video, and claimed that Westerners
had been killed in an air strike on Ukrainian positions. The same man,
who made it out of Ukraine, reported that Western volunteers are
effectively locked inside the country. He said that while foreign
volunteers have been attempting to leave, Ukrainians have destroyed
their passports and threatened to shoot them in the back should they
walk away.
