What indeed is up with the bribe, and why are you including it here? Just more of the old "Ukraine is corrupt!" as a justification for the war? How unbelievably irrelevant! On top of that, you got your figures wrong:

The six you refer to were a single volley fired on Kyiv, all of which were shot down! The 27 fired in total was over a 24 hour period against a range of targets, and how many were shot down in total, we don't yet know. There's been no update on that since May16th, So claiming it was "just 6 out of 27" is bullshit.

And Russian claims are not evidence, considering they have lied about their missiles being shot down from the beginning. If we're going to believe claims, then Ukraine's claim of having shot down 29 of 30 is relevant.

Also, if you're going to post points, you might want to cite them. Unless, of course, you're trying to hide the source because you know it's bullshit.
