What are you talking about? They launched dosens (hundreds since Feb 24th) of Kalibr missiles, all the way from Caspian and Black seas.

And when Ukrainian military tries to intercept them, stray Ukrainian S-300 missiles sometimes kill civilians on the ground. Awkward, right? Better say that Russians are repurposing ground-to-air missiles and firing them at Ukrainian civilians.

This time it was Polish civilians and the lie won't fly.

"Three U.S. officials said preliminary assessments suggested the missile was fired by Ukrainian forces at an incoming Russian missile" [0]

Why are you bringing up Kalibrs if the parent was talking about S-300 type missiles?
You're right, I stand corrected.
Everyone now admits it’s Ukrainian, but all media initially reported it was stray Russian missile.
It's quite easy to assume given Ukraine isn't firing in that direction and that it's a weapon that goes back to Soviet times.

I'm glad that it (probably?) didn't turn out to be from Russia, though!

Everyone but the Ukrainian president who earlier said that the missile was an attack on 'collective security' and demanded from NATO that it swiftly punishes the perpetrator))
