Russian MoD March 21st, Missile Strike On Retroville Mall On Kiev outskirts, in Vinogradar district.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Briefing by Russian Defence Ministry

▫️Ukrainian nationalists continue to use residential areas of settlements and social facilities as a "human shield" to deploy their artillery systems and conduct massive fire on Russian servicemen.

▫️So, on Kiev outskirts, in Vinogradar district, Ukrainian nationalist units covered themselves with residential buildings for several days and fired multiple launch rocket systems at Russian servicemen.

▫️At the same time, the areas of the nearby shopping centre were used as a large base for storing rocket ammunition and reloading multiple launch rocket systems.

▫️The coordinates of the position of Ukrainian multiple rocket launchers were confirmed by Russian reconnaissence through several channels, as well as the location of warehouse with rocket ammunition was discovered.

▫️Live monitoring and recording system clearly shows how a Ukrainian multiple launch rocket system enters a shopping centre on the outskirts of Kiev to hide and reload missiles.

💥High-precision long-range weapons destroyed a battery of Ukrainian multiple rocket launchers and a storage base for their ammunition in closed shopping centre on the night of March 21.

❗️We would like to draw the attention of the Western media once again. We have presented absolute evidence of the criminal use by Kiev nationalist regime of civilian objects in residential areas of Kiev and other cities of Ukraine, as firing positions of artillery and rocket systems.

💬 I have to comment on the words of the adviser to the office of the Ukrainian President, Mikhail Podolyak, that allegedly Russia is fighting only with "manpower and cruise missiles."

▫️I must emphasize that the special military operation is carried out by a professional army, which actually uses cruise missiles.

▫️Their use is highly effective. They carry out precision strikes against military infrastructure and never against civilian objects. The nationalists themselves and the Ukrainian Armed Forces are hitting civilian targets. There are a lot of people's testimonies about this, and we have just presented one of them.

▫️Returning to the actions of the Russian Armed Forces, not only cruise missiles are used, but also hypersonic weapons. Which is absolutely high-precision and is also used only for military targets.

▫️The Russian Defence Ministry has analyzed the results of the destruction of the military infrastructure assets of Ukraine by aviation missile complexes Kinzhal with hypersonic aeroballistic missiles.

💥Underground protected storages of Ukrainian aviation weapons and combat units for Tochka-U missile systems located in the Delyatin, Ivano-Frankovsk region, as well as large fuel depots in Konstantinovka, Nikolaev region, were destroyed.

ℹ️ I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the use of a hypersonic aeroballistic missile of Kinzhal complex was carried out from a range of more than 1,000 kilometers. The flight time of the hypersonic missile was less than 10 minutes.

💥Due to hypersonic speed and ultra-high kinetic energy, the warhead of Kinzhal missile complex destroyed a protected underground arsenal located in a mountainous area, built in Soviet times to store special ammunition and missiles.

💥The destruction of a large fuel depot in Konstantinovka by Kinzhal hypersonic missile was due to its invisibility and invulnerability to any means of enemy air and missile defence.

▫️Combat use of Kynzhal aviation missile system confirmed its effectiveness in destroying highly protected special enemy assets. The strikes on the military infrastructure of Ukraine by this missile system will continue within.

▫️I would like to emphasize that Kinzhal system is used with a conventional warhead. Although experts are well aware of the capabilities of this weapon, not only in terms of range, but also in terms of the type of charge.

▫️Other latest means of destruction are also used, as well as modern aviation.

▫️All these weapons systems, as well as other weapons, if Mr. Podolyak does not know, are called the modern Russian Army and the Navy.

▫️I do not recommend misleading anyone about the real capabilities and professionalism of the Russian Armed Forces. All the alleged "real data" about losses of military equipment and personnel of the Russian Armed Forces, including senior and superior officers, disseminated by Mr. Podolyak is propagandistic lies.

❗️In turn, I would like to draw attention to the actions of the Ukrainian Security Service, neo-Nazi formations and other so-called "special Ukrainian structures" that terrorize their own citizens trying to leave the territory of Ukraine. It is these representatives of the Kiev regime who create a stir on the border.

▫️As for the male population of Ukraine, they are forcibly conscripted into the army as so-called "reservists" at the border. In fact, they are used as "cannon fodder".
