Imagine what? How it started: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66731927 7th September 2023 President Zelensky has condemned a "deliberate" attack on Ukraine's "peaceful city" of Kostyantynivka. Mr Zelensky described the attack as "utter inhumanity", while his wife Olena Zelenska said it showed "horrific cruelty". An investigation has been launched by Ukraine's prosecutor-general, whose office said it was in pursuit of "criminal proceedings for violation of the laws and customs of war". "Prosecutors are taking all possible and appropriate measures to record war crimes committed by the Russian Federation," a statement added. Officials in Russia have not yet commented on the attack. They have previously denied targeting citizens as part of their offensive. And how it finished: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/evidence-suggests-errant-ukrainian-missile-caused-market-deaths-new-york-times-2023-09-19/ 19th September 2023 "Evidence collected and analyzed by The New York Times, including missile fragments, satellite imagery, witness accounts and social media posts, strongly suggests the catastrophic strike was the result of an errant Ukrainian air defense missile fired by a Buk launch system," the newspaper reported. [And then we have the 'trump' line for these occasions] "In the meantime, we must not forget: it was Russia that launched the invasion of Ukraine and it is Russia that is responsible for bringing war to our country," [Podolyak] said.
ps: Another fascinating thing about this. Do a google search for Kostyantynivka and constrain date to 1st - 30th September. You see the news reports on the 5th-7th condemning Russia, then a complete blackout of any information (it only took a day or two for people to see the CCTV and realise the anti-Russian narrative stunk) until around the 19th Sept, when it is reluctantly reported about AFU possibly being responsible.
