Russian propagandist Volodymyr Solovyov wrote on his Telegram channel about the alleged "success" of Ukraine's.

Ukrainian military air defense. On July 16, the Ukrainian military hit a residential building in Dnipropetrovsk with an anti-aircraft missile. The post contains photos of the Main Directorate of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Dnipropetrovsk region. These photos were not taken in Dnipro (Dnipropetrovsk is the city's old name) but in Nikopol. On the morning of July 16, the Russians fired 53 rockets at the residential quarters of Nikopol. The enemy was fighting from "Hrady." 12 five-story buildings, 13 private houses, a school, a vocational school building, medical facilities, and industrial enterprise, and a water supply were damaged. Rescuers retrieved two dead people from under the rubble of the building. Another injured woman is in the hospital.

Russian propagandists regularly "wash their hands" of war crimes and blame the Ukrainian side for what was committed. It was not the first time they practiced such lies. On February 26, a Russian rocket destroyed an apartment building on Lobanovskyi Avenue in Kyiv, injuring six people. Then they also spread the fake that the missile allegedly belonged to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
