😡❌ American blogger, Jackson Hinkle, spreads disinformation about the alleged fakeness of the pictures of the emergency services at the site of the "Okhmatdit" children's hospital destroyed by the russians.
▫️In particular, on his page in X, the blogger published one of the photos of the State Emergency Service, which shows children's toys on the ruins of the hospital, and wrote: "The Ukrainian government inserted fake children's toys into the image of the hospital it destroyed in Kyiv."
✅ In fact, no one inserted the toys into the photos, which was reported to the Center by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the State Emergency Service. It is these children's toys that can be seen on other photo and video materials from the scene, which indicates their originality.
▫️This is not Hinkle's first fake about a missile attack on "Okhmatdyt".
▪️Yes, an American blogger, known for his commitment to russia, claimed on his X-page that "Okhmatdyt" was apparently hit by an American air defense missile "Patriot" launched by Ukraine. This also turned out to be a fake, as SBU investigators determined that the attack was carried out by an Kh-101 cruise missile.
❗️ By spreading such lies, the blogger is trying to discredit the Ukrainian government and divert the attention of the world community from yet another russian war crime.

This will be the second procurement of the A8 variant of the Leopard 2 tank, following a decision in May 2023 to replace stock donated to Ukraine by buying 18 of the main battle tanks, expected to be delivered between 2025 and 2026.
The Leopard 2A8 variant is a main battle tank similar to the Leopard 2A7V, but with improvements to increase the combat value, such a next generation of multi-layered armour composed of steel, tungsten, composite filler, and ceramic components, and a passive armour kit, as well as reinforcements to the underbelly to protect against mine detonation.

🥚 Few people know, but in 2004 in Ukraine there was also an assassination attempt, on the pro-Russian candidate Viktor Yanukovych. That time someone from the crowd threw an egg at him and he lost consciousness
