The General Staff reacted to the statement of the Russian Ministry of Defense about the 'high-precision strike' on Kryvyi Rih.

As a result of the missile attack in Russia, 18 people died.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the attack was aimed at a meeting place of Ukrainian military personnel with Western instructors. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine condemned these cynical actions of Russia.

The Russian army used the 'Iskander-M' missile with cluster warheads, which target a larger area and number of people.

'Now the Russian Ministry of Defense is trying to strengthen its claims about hitting the place where the commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were gathering with Western instructors, but this is a cynical lie,' said the General Staff of Ukraine.

The information disseminated by Russia is false. The missile struck a residential area and a children's playground.

'The enemy violates international humanitarian law and continues military aggression against Ukraine and Ukrainians. We will confirm this with evidence in international criminal justice institutions. The enemy will certainly be held accountable,' the General Staff stated.

Recall that the Russian Ministry of Defense is trying to find justification for the missile attack on Kryvyi Rih. Propaganda media, citing the Russian Ministry of Defense, reported the attack on the meeting place of Ukrainian military personnel and foreign instructors.

According to the statement of the Russian Ministry of Defense, the missile strike was aimed at a restaurant where a meeting of the commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Western instructors was taking place.

Russian troops again attacked Kryvyi Rih with a missile, resulting in the deaths of many people and injuries to others. Currently, 18 dead have been reported, including 9 children, as well as 56 injured. Rescue operations are ongoing.
