He Admitted It Himself

What Putin's speech showed.

Vladimir Putin admitted to committing another war crime. “The Zircon sea-based hypersonic strike missile system has already been used in battle, which was not even discussed in the 2018 message. But this complex is already in operation,” he said in a message to the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.

Back on February 7, after another massive missile attack on Kyiv, experts discovered fragments of a Russian missile, the markings of which suggested that Putin’s troops struck the huge city with the Zircon. Moreover, this missile flew along an atypical trajectory for ballistic strikes, in the direction from the Crimea to Kyiv.

Kremlin propagandists threatened to use this missile against residential buildings back in March 2022. “(There is a five-story building, so we aimed at the entrance https://charter97.org/ru/news/2024/2/11/583158/), if not this one, then it will definitely fly into the next one,” as captain of the frigate “Admiral Gorshkov” spoke about this weapon on the air of the departmental television channel of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

To continue the missile terror against civilians in Ukraine, Putin and his soldiers do not spare their supposedly most modern developments. The entire arsenal of the Russian army is flying through Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure, filled with Iran and the DPRK.

Putin’s speech shows that this gang is not only not ashamed of their war crimes, but enjoys them. They are completely confident of their impunity and the helplessness of international legal institutions. Which, unfortunately, remains the truth for now.
