If you want to see real video:

Inside the restaurant

Video by Franky and Coen immediately after the attack

The two guys in the last video are volunteers who bring food to civilians in Ukraine. As you can see, the video is from immediately after the bombing, even before the police, military, and ambulances arrive.

The hotel is barely damaged, the restaurant is destroyed.

why we need so many of our Western operatives virtually ON THE FRONT LINES

You are the one fantasizing that there are "Western operatives" everywhere.

Maybe you just need to accept that the Ukrainians are doing their own fighting.

“You are the one fantasizing that there are “Western operatives” everywhere.”

Actually, that’s now WIDELY REPORTED, but I do understand your use of Alinsky Methods.

American Blackhawk helicopters have rushed to the site to recover American dead and wounded.

The Pentagon certainly does not want the Kramatorsk locals digging out and publicly identifying American soldiers in the rubble.

The Russian propaganda guys didn't realize that there is video showing their lies.

The video taken by civilians who were in the restaurant when the attack happened shows that the soldiers came to the restaurant to help in the rescue efforts.

The statement in the video that there were military trucks parked out front was not true when the attack happened. The trucks came to provide help. You can see that in the video.

Did you get a bonus pelmeni at lunch for posting the propaganda?

I hope you don't believe that. Here are some of the people who were killed or wounded.

Coming straight slightly embellished from the Russian MOD daily briefings. The same briefings that cumulatively have announced the destruction of two to three times what Ukraine has, yet can not explain how Russia has not won.

also notice the timing here ...

this story seems to be designed to distract attention away from the fact that Putin is so unpopular at home that a coup just occurred on his watch

so, of course Putin & his sycophantic underlings would be embarrassed and desperately trying to draw attention away from that ...

The posted video includes images of a destroyed building behind the hotel, and damage to the back of the hotel Kramatorsk. That damage was caused by an attack in March.

Apart from the restaurant the damage shown in the Russian propaganda video happened months ago. Look at the broken windows, etc. in the hotel, and the destroyed building behind it in the articles below. That happened in March.

March 2023 Kramatorsk

The Russians just attacked a restaurant popular with civilians, aid workers, and journalists. Just like they shelled aid workers and journalists during the recent flood in Kherson.

I think they are trying to distract away from another civilian massacre. And one where very well known foreign journalists and aid workers happened to be present.

Killing teenage girls is hard to justify, but that's Russia's contribution to the world now. Their nation has joined ISIS, Al Qaeda, and all the other terrorists.

that’s now WIDELY REPORTED

I suspect it is "widely reported" on the talking points memos that get handed out in St. Petersburg and Moscow. Not anywhere else.

And then guys like you post the lies wherever you can.

Plenty of proof. Photos, videos, names. Not that you care.

“I suspect it is “widely reported” on the talking points memos that get handed out in St. Petersburg and Moscow. Not anywhere else.”

Pretty obvious why it’s not reported by CNN, but it still doesn’t change the ENGLISH LANGUAGE that dominated the videos on the Kramatorsk strike.

While Russia claims they were targeting the 56th Motorized Infantry Brigade. As if at this point in the war any Ukrainian unit would headquarter in a building big enough for Russia to target like that. Russia targets civilians, then makes technical military sounding excuses (lies) to cover it up.

I wonder if people are still interrogated with field crank telephones attached to them? Mans inhumanity to Man

still nothing on CNN, NYTimes, BBC, etc.

guess it wasn’t all that “widely reported”, huh

if you find it on a major news outlet, post the link ... if it even happened ...
