The Ukrainian position does not stand up to criticism on all counts. The Ukrainian General Staff said it hit the headquarters of the Rubikon Center, an elite unit of the Russian Ministry of Defense, founded in August 2024, responsible for numerous attacks on Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure.

But Kyiv did not provide conclusive evidence that the affected residential and educational buildings actually contained military personnel or military infrastructure. Some of the circulating documents on the presence of the Russian military were classified as forged by Ukrainian journalists”

It remains to draw conclusions
