Ukraine Denies Accidental Bombing of Own Market, Counters NYT Report

Ukraine has refuted a New York Times investigation suggesting that it accidentally bombed a local market in Kostiantynivka, stating that evidence points to another Russian war crime. Ukrainian law enforcement claims that the strike was carried out by the enemy using an S-300 complex, citing recovered rocket fragments as evidence. Ukrainian officials have called for an official investigation to determine the truth and have emphasized that it was Russia that initiated the invasion of Ukraine, while Ukraine is solely engaged in defensive actions.
