Kremlin spreading fakes to cover up own army’s war crimes - U.S. Embassy

Russian authorities are spreading misinformation to cover up war crimes committed by the Russian army in Ukraine.

This was stated on Twitter by the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, according to Ukrinform.

“The Kremlin is spreading lies to cover up war crimes. Stay aware. Don't be deceived," wrote U.S. diplomats.

Against the background of photos of the destruction caused by Russian troops, they also cited Russians' claims that they are not bombing homes, churches, schools, museums, shops, and evacuation routes.

As reported, on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops have been shelling and destroying infrastructure and residential areas of Ukrainian cities and villages, using artillery, multiple rocket launchers, and ballistic missiles.

Martial law was imposed and general mobilization was announced in Ukraine. The nation has been repelling Russian invaders.
