Just gave my two cents worth on #Ukraine's #Zelensky's communication misstep re: missile killing civilians in #Poland, on the Belgian channel LN24.

Quick summary:
-Not the 1st time that he's blundered (Snake Island). Our support did not diminish after. #KeepCalm
-This is not #disinformation, but misinfo (intent + inquiry still ongoing).
-#Putin seeks every opportunity to discredit #Ukraine, so their reaction is not surprising.
-Let's not forget who attacks whom. (#Russia is the aggressor)

I am perhaps being tinfoil hat-y, but I think the fact that the missile landed due north of a freight rail yard in Lviv, and due west of a bridge in Kyiv, is suggestive of a Russian missile strike. A clerical error by a Russian soldier entering target coordinates from a list of targets - read the latitude from row 1, the longitude from row 2 - and you get exactly that missile strike in Poland.

Given that NATO countries very much don't want to enter WWIII, and the Russians were blustering and denying everything (meaning there was no apology NATO could accept) - could it be Zelensky's blunder was not being wrong, but speaking a truth whose acknowledgement would be dangerous?

Not just any rail yard either - the rail yard that would bring damaged fighter jets to the state aircraft repair facility.

If that was indeed the target, this aerial photo shows the yard of the facility that would potentially have been cut off from rail transport.

@dragonfrog This is the third time you are ignoring what I'm saying.
I do not want my attention manipulated to look at XXX on some satellite image. I would like to know what the enquiry says. Thank and have a good evening.
