Meanwhile, Russian propagandists on social media have already begun to justify the Russian Armed Forces’ strike on peaceful Kharkiv. According to their version, the Iskander did not damage a polyclinic and residential buildings in the city centre, but a “temporary deployment point of the Armed Forces of Ukraine”, which was allegedly located in the “Southern Regional Department of the State Border Guard Service”.
