Narrative fail.
Legacy media outlets breathlessly reported on Monday that the memorial had been deliberately attacked by an air strike, amplifying Zelensky’s claim that the destruction was “beyond humanity.”
“[The Russians] have orders to erase our history, our country and all of us,” Zelensky said. “You killed Holocaust victims for the second time.”
However, the attack had actually targeted the nearby television tower and the memorial was not damaged.
The memorial was “not harmed and no bomb, missile or artillery shell hit the site itself,” Ynet News reported." SN
