Late yesterday, June 27, 2023, reports began FLOODING out of Kramatorsk, Ukraine, that a Hotel/Restaurant in Kramatorsk had been brutally hit by "Russian" Missiles, and NUMEROUS American-English Speakers -- and troops with American Flag patches -- could be heard and seen in the aftermath.
Kramatorsk, once a city of 150,000 inhabitants, is the last major urban center under Ukrainian control in the east of the country. It lies about 30 kilometres (18 miles) from the frontline.
Photos and video proved there was, in fact, a missile strike. Those photos and video also PROVED American troop-type people were hit, some injured, some killed.

Within an hour, Ukraine publicly claimed that innocent children and "American tourists" were the victims.
“Tourists?” In military uniforms? In an area 30 or so miles from the active front lines that is being shelled almost daily now, after the loss of Bakhmut??
Then, some damning pictures came out showing the remnants of a missile trail in the sky over the hotel, and worse, missile debris on the ground PROVING the missile was a British Storm Shadow missile. Russians don't use those . . . .

About an hour ago, the Ukrainian Air Force tried to strike again, but something went wrong.

-Tourist in the front area?

-They targeted an hotel?
-How can you explain US volunteer (mercenary) saying this is where he used to have dinner?
-So many coincidences innit? Or was it Ukraines crime war using civilians facilities as military shelters? pic.twitter.com/URSuICeyXY
This morning, the story has changed quite a bit - TWICE !
First there was a claim that the Ukraine Air Force "accidentally" targeted the hotel. Well, that might certainly be possible and would explain the Storm Shadow missile debris. It would also explain the extensive damage - it could, in fact, have been a Russian missile and then a Ukrainian missile by mistake.
But wait, the story changed yet again.
NATO Troops have been using this place for awhile and posting on social media, complete with geo-tags!
these nato guys post DOZENS of photos and videos of themselves hanging out with the ukrainian military in kramatorsk with geotags attached and tag each other in every instagram post. pretty bad opsec tbh pic.twitter.com/9ngFFnadoA

MOREOVER, American Mercenaries also posting to social media that THEY use the place:
Foreign mercenaries hit in Kramatorsk - possible evidence.

- Jesus Christ, we always had lunch here! - a mercenary named Alex Gallant writes posting the aftermath of the arrival on the target in Kramatorsk (video #1). - So why were we bombarded? pic.twitter.com/NHaKRv8yu8
Word is out this morning that officials are "looking for the people who betrayed the secret meeting taking place, to the Russians."
While Ukrainian propaganda milks collateral damage of a Russian strike in Kramatorsk, soldiers scavenge the rubble for Ukrainian officers, and social networks look for the mole who leaked the secret meeting to the Russian side. pic.twitter.com/BSvRBRwNbP
Secret meeting? With Americans and other NATO troops, under arms and in military uniforms? Inside the war zone of Ukraine?
⚡️As of 7 am, it is known that 8 people were killed in Kramatorsk, including 3 children. Another 56 people were injured, reports Interior Ministry.

UKRAINE TACITLY ADMITS: MILITARY TARGET!
Ukraine’s SBU effectively just acknowledged Kramatorsk was a legitimate military target.

They arrested a man who they say helped direct the strike; but admit he was “assigned to collect data on locations and movements of the [Ukrainian] Defence Forces in… Kramatorsk.” pic.twitter.com/TX1cUC9HKq
Freshly obtained video also shows this so-called "Pizza Restaurant" was, in fact, a military Baracks and Headquarters:
