Tuesday 28 June 2022 10:36 AM Putin's shameless TV stooge accuses Ukraine of STAGING mall bombing atrocity trends now
A prominent Russian state TV propagandist has shamelessly accused Ukraine of staging the shopping mall bomb atrocity to secure more military help from the West.
Vladimir Solovyov, known as 'Putin's voice', unashamedly said Ukrainians 'do the same trick' when they need additional military help - 'they start screaming'.
He claimed Kyiv had staged the attack, alleging that a lack of cars at the shopping mall indicated it was almost empty at the time of the bombing.
But in reality, it was a Russian missile strike on the crowded mall in central Ukraine that killed at least 18 people in what G7 leaders branded 'a war crime' at a meeting in Germany.
The Amstor shopping mall was blown up on Monday afternoon - during the mall's busiest hours - while an estimated 1,000 people were inside by what Kyiv says was two Russian AS-4 guided missiles, Soviet-era weapons originally designed to take out US aircraft carriers.
But Solovyov shamelessly claimed that it was all a lie and Ukraine had staged the bombing and killed their own citizens.
Solovyov also mocked British Prime Minister Boris Johnson for having 'no hint of macho' and taunted him to declare war on Russia.

Smoke rises from the ruins of the Amstor shopping mall in the city of Kremenchuk, central Ukraine, after it was struck by long-range guided missiles that Ukraine says were fired by Russian bombers
Emergency crews worked through the night to extinguish flames that ripped through the complex, warning that the chances of anyone who was trapped survived the blaze are slim

Speaking of the shopping mall bomb atrocity, Solovyov said on the state-owned Russian television channel Russia 1: 'Ukrainians do the same trick as always when they need additional [military] help.
'They start screaming - they had Bucha earlier, today they have Kremenchuk.
'Supposedly a shopping mall. There are supposedly many deaths, though for some reason there were few cars [in the car park].
He added: 'And there were almost 1,000 [dead]. Then they talked about 100 [dead]. There are no photos. Everything is as usual.'
Images and video from the scene of the mall attack show those injured in the attack laying in hospital beds with bandages around their faces whilst emergency workers were pictured scouring the burnt remains of the shopping centre for survivors.

Kremenchuk is an industrial city in the centre of Ukraine spanning the Dnipro River, and is more than 100 miles from the closest frontline with Kyiv insisting it contains no military targets
Earlier, Russia claimed that Ukrainian and Western allegations of rape and massacres in Bucha were a stunt to make Putin's troops appear barbaric.
But satellite images show the dead bodies of 410 civilians lining the streets of Bucha whilst Russian troops were in the Ukrainian town, debunking Russian claims they were placed there after their troops left the area.
