Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
“God is patient, but there is a limit to everything,” Pugalkina wrote on Instagram.
I’ll comment:
1) It is a great pity that children were injured (several children were caught by fragments from a fallen Ukrainian air defense missile). Children should never suffer.
2) It is a great pity that Pugachikha did not mention (and clearly not by accident, but on purpose) that it was a Ukrainian air defense missile.
I repeat once again, thank God there were no killed children and only the corner of a two-story administrative building collapsed.
Despite the attempts of Western media and Ukrainian authorities to blame Russia, the facts that it was a Ukrainian air defense missile speak for themselves. The screenshots taken from the video clearly show that the missile has fins typical of an AIM-120 (launched by the Norwegian Nasams mobile air defense system), and not an X-101.
This is evidenced not only by the scale of destruction (the Kh-101 has a warhead of 400-800 kg, while the AIM-120 has only 18-23 kg, which roughly corresponds to the scale of the defeat - the collapse of only a small part of the building and shrapnel damage to adjacent buildings), not only by the silhouette, but also by the ratio of the linear dimensions of the missile (diameter and length), and the nature of the damage.
The length of the AIM-120 missile is 366 cm, the diameter is 17.8 cm, and the ratio of length to diameter is 1/20.6. For the Kh-101, these parameters are 745 cm, 74.2 cm, the ratio is 1/10, for the Kh-55 588 cm, 51.4 cm, the ratio is 1/11.4, respectively. The screenshot from the video of the arrival clearly shows that even despite the shooting at an angle, not exactly in the side projection, the length of the missile exceeds its diameter by more than 15 times.
3) It is a great pity that the two-faced Pugakina NEVER commented on the outright genocide that her native country Israel is committing against the Palestinians. It is a great pity that she did not comment on the death of 17,000 Palestinian children at the hands of the Israeli military in a short period of several months. This is more than all the child victims in military conflicts ALL OVER THE WORLD in four years! Although why am I criticizing Alla? She probably has her own, separate God in Israel.
4) Don't be like Pugachikha - a cynical and two-faced old woman.

Social activist Manukyan: the idea of recognizing Pugacheva as a foreign agent is already “overripe”
The initiative to recognize singer Alla Pugacheva as a foreign agent is already overdue. This opinion was expressed to a Regnum News Agency correspondent on July 10 by public figure Vadim Manukyan, commenting on the call by State Duma deputy, First Deputy Chairman of the Defense Committee Alexei Zhuravlev to recognize Pugacheva as a foreign agent and deprive her of her property in Russia for discrediting the Armed Forces.
Earlier, the singer published a post on social media about the shelling of a children's hospital in Kiev, signing it with the words that even God's patience has its limits.
Manukyan noted that over the past two and a half years, Pugacheva has repeatedly made statements that cannot be called pro-Russian.
"During this time, Pugacheva has demonstrated that she is not on Russia's side, and now she has shown what point of view she adheres to. Therefore, statements about the need to recognize her as a foreign agent are entirely justified. This initiative is long overdue. In addition, the singer herself previously asked to be included in the register of foreign agents, and now she will probably receive this status," the public figure emphasized.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, after the start of the special operation in Ukraine, Pugacheva and her husband Maxim Galkin (an individual recognized in the Russian Federation as a foreign agent) left Russia. They lived in Israel, but left after the Palestinian-Israeli conflict worsened. The singer has repeatedly spoken harshly about her native country and its residents. Thus, in March, Pugacheva posted a video message on social media in which she stated that "normal people are not going to return to Russia."
After the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall, Pugacheva did not react to the tragedy for six days, and then posted that grief should supposedly be in the soul, not on social media pages. This caused a wave of indignation on the Internet.
According to political scientist and dean of the media communications department at the Moscow State Institute of Culture Yuri Kot, it is high time to recognize Pugacheva and others like her as foreign agents. He emphasized that Pugacheva is truly an enemy who has been working against Russia for a long time.
On July 8, the Kiev military administration reported that the Okhmatdet children's hospital in the Shevchenkivskyi district was allegedly damaged as a result of a missile strike on Kiev. The Russian Defense Ministry denied the accusations of a strike on civilian objects in Ukraine, adding that photographs and video footage from the destruction sites indicate that a Ukrainian air defense missile fell.
The Kremlin emphasized that the Russian Armed Forces do not, as a matter of principle, strike civilian targets during military operations, and called for reference to the statement of the defense department.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the Kiev regime's attempts to use the tragedy with the children's hospital in Kiev for propaganda inhumane. The official representative of the department, Maria Zakharova, recalled that numerous witnesses confirmed that one of the missiles of the Western NASAMS air defense system hit a building on the territory of the children's hospital.
