Russia is conducting a campaign to discredit Ukrainian authorities before partners - Lubinets

The Russian Federation is conducting a campaign to discredit the authorities of Ukraine. Representatives of the aggressor state call relatives of prisoners and state that our state does not want to take their relatives, Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets said during a press conference, reports UNN correspondent.

The Russian Federation has launched a large information campaign aimed at the families of prisoners and missing persons. Representatives of the Russian Federation call the personal phones of families, directly introducing themselves as employees of relevant Russian structures. They say that "Ukraine does not want to take your relative." It is proposed to write a separate appeal to the Russian Federation, and also, attention, to the United States of America with the aim of discrediting the authorities of Ukraine

Thus, according to Lubinets, the invaders are trying to damage Ukraine's reputation in the eyes of partners and encourage them to stop providing military, financial, and other assistance.

We see that this trend is currently of the largest scale. According to our data, this large-scale campaign to discredit the authorities of Ukraine is connected with doing everything possible to make our partners stop helping in various ways – military aid, financial aid, political, diplomatic, on the grounds that Ukrainian authorities, the highest officials are maximally discredited in the eyes of the families of prisoners of war, in the eyes of our heroes and heroines

The human rights activist added that the only way to counter this Russian campaign is to inform the public.

The only way to counter this discrediting campaign is constant informing. I ask that this press conference be used to publicize this information so that the maximum number of families of prisoners of war receive information about this campaign and, in case of contact by representatives of Russia, promptly inform the Security Service of Ukraine

Dmytro Lubinets, the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada, previously reported on another probable execution of a Ukrainian prisoner, who was tied to a motorcycle and dragged. He sent official letters to the UN and the ICRC regarding this incident.
