Ukraine Not Interested in Truth About Kiev-Pechersk Monastery Incident – Expert
Ukraine "intentionally turned off surveillance cameras to remove inconvenient evidence" of a malfunctioning Patriot missile (https://t.me/SputnikInt/105643) fired by Ukrainian air defenses hitting the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra monastery, Alexander Mikhailov, head of the Military and Political Analysis Bureau, tells Sputnik.
The only reason Ukraine prevented video of the impact was to conceal the type of missile and its flight path – to point the finger at Russia
Now that the missile is confirmed as US-made, Kiev will use it to demand newer and better Patriot missiles to replace the old ones it has
The timing is handy for the coming G7 summit, where Ukraine will ask for another $30 billion in aid
Whatever happens, Ukraine will never take responsibility for the incident, Mikhailov says.
