Russia is cynically lying to justify the deaths of 24 people in Kyiv - CCD
Kyiv • UNN
The CCD has debunked Russian fakes regarding the Kh-101 missile strike on a residential building in Kyiv on May 14. Propaganda is concealing the deaths of 24 people and accusing Ukraine of staging the event.
Russian propaganda has launched a disinformation campaign, attempting to absolve itself of responsibility for the deaths of 24 people following a missile strike on a residential building in Kyiv on May 14. This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) of the NSDC, according to UNN.
Enemy resources acted according to a now-classic scenario, mass-distributing fakes claiming that the destruction of the high-rise was allegedly the "result of Ukrainian air defense operations." However, some propagandists went even further in their cynicism, claiming that the tragedy in the capital was a "performance and a staged event" organized by Ukraine itself,
The claims in Russian Telegram channels that Ukraine allegedly "mined and blew up the building itself for the sake of the visuals" are blatant nonsense. While the enemy invents absurd theories, Ukrainian investigators and experts at the site of the strike are documenting this crime step-by-step, gathering evidence. According to preliminary data, the residential building in Kyiv was hit by a Russian Kh-101 missile.
The Russian Federation bears sole responsibility for the deaths of peaceful Kyiv residents and the destruction of civilian infrastructure. No cynical excuses, absurd theories, or information manipulations will help the aggressor hide another war crime against humanity,
As a reminder
Due to the Russian strike on Kyiv on May 14, 24 people were killed, including three underage girls. 24 injured residents remain in hospital wards.
