The ruscists’ atrocities in Bucha shocked the whole world. The army of ‘liberators’ has clearly shown what the ‘ruZZian mir’ really is: murdered children with their hands tied, raped women, mutilated bodies of men... Ruthless concentrated evil cynically covers its actions with clumsy fables about ‘nazis’.

Therefore, the main task of Russian propaganda today is to divert attention of the audience, both international and domestic.

Scenarios for new fakes have already been developed, and Russian propagandists are preparing the groundwork. In particular, lies about alleged crimes of Ukrainian defenders of Mariupol are being actively ‘thrown’ into the information field.

According to available data, the occupiers are preparing a large-scale falsification: they plan to gather in one place the bodies of Mariupol residents killed by Russians themselves and present them as mass victims of Ukrainian troops. To this end, false narratives have recently been circulating that ‘Ukrainians are using civilians as human shields.’ Although this is an outright delusion. In fact, it is the Russian troops who are killing Mariupol people – already in early March the residents had to bury the dead in mass graves.

Thus, the occupiers’ plans to absolve themselves of responsibility for these killings are further proof that we are at war with a real horde that has already tarnished itself with crimes so much that no one will believe its cheap fakes.

Instead, we will do our best to hold each occupier to account for the atrocities committed.
