Shocking Video: Ukrainian Missile Kills Russian Actress Performing for Putin's Marines in Retaliatory Strike

In a chilling video, a Russian actress tragically lost her life on stage in occupied Donetsk as a Ukrainian missile struck during a performance for Vladimir Putin's marines. 

The shocking footage, shared by the Russian news Telegram channel Astra, captured the moment 40-year-old Polina Menshikh was singing and playing guitar at a crowded cultural center in Kumachovo, near the conflict's front lines, when a deafening crash interrupted, plunging the screen into darkness.

The devastating news of Menshikh's death was confirmed by both the Russian state-run TASS news agency and the Portal theater in St. Petersburg. 

The incident occurred during a concert celebrating Russia's annual Day of Missile Forces and Artillery, attended by Russian troops, resulting in the loss of at least 25 lives and injuring over 100 others.

The Ukrainian military used a US-supplied HIMARS missile system for the strike as a retaliatory measure following the Nov. 3 Russian missile attack on a Ukrainian military awards ceremony, which claimed the lives of 20 soldiers. 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky referred to this event as a "tragedy that could have been avoided."

Robert Brovdi, commander of the Ukrainian aerial reconnaissance unit "Birds of Magyar," mentioned on his Telegram channel that the strike was intended as retaliation for the previous attack on the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade.

In response to the incident, the Ukrainian defense forces officially confirmed their responsibility for the revenge strike on Russia's 810th Marine Brigade, swiftly locating and targeting the Russian celebration venue.

A prediction was made by Brovdi regarding obituaries for the fallen Russian marines, expected to appear in Sevastopol, Crimea, the 810th Brigade's base. 

Meanwhile, a pro-Russian military blogger heavily criticized Russia's military leadership, branding them as "untaught idiots" for their lack of foresight, resulting in tragic consequences like Menshikh's demise.
