The SSU has collected evidence that confirms that the occupiers deliberately committed an egregious war crime in Kremenchuk. This was stated by the Head of the Security Service of Ukraine Ivan Bakanov.

Available data indicate that the X-22 missiles were launched from Tu-22M3 strategic bombers that took off from Shaykovka military airfield in Kaluga region, russia. The missiles themselves were launched in the airspace of Kursk region, russia.

The video, which captured the moment of the missile strike, clearly shows that the invaders hit civilian targets, in particular, the shopping center. This is evidenced by the footage from surveillance cameras inside and around the shopping center - there were many visitors there.

Additionally, satellite images allow to look at Kremenchuk before and after the strike. It is even possible to compare the number of cars that were usually in the shopping center parking lot at different times.

That is, any fabrications of russian propaganda are refuted by facts that are easy to verify.

As for the strike on Kremenchuk Plant of Road Machines, there were no warehouses with military equipment there. The enterprise was producing  asphalt mixing plants.

‘If we proceed from the occupiers’ logic, then supermarket shelves and even asphalt mixing plants pose a danger to them. The russian army is a bunch of terrorists who will be punished for their crimes. All evidence is being thoroughly documented,’ Ivan Bakanov added.

On June 27, 2022, the SSU launched an investigation into the rocket attack on civilian facilities in Kremenchuk. Proceedings were opened under Article 438.2 of the CCU (violation of laws and customs of war).
