Russia offers alibi before strike on Kramatorsk - CSD

Ukrinform
Russian propaganda is offering another information alibi by spreading disinformation that Ukraine is allegedly preparing a “series of strikes on Kramatorsk.”

According to Ukrinform, this was reported on Telegram by the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.

“Russian propaganda is offering another information alibi by spreading disinformation that Ukraine is allegedly preparing a ‘series of strikes on Kramatorsk’ to blame the Russian army for them,” the report says.

As noted, this information has nothing to do with reality and is a typical tactic of Russian propaganda to justify its war crimes and shift responsibility for them to Ukraine. It is the Russian army that is carrying out targeted terrorist strikes on civilian objects in Ukraine, trying to justify them as “Ukrainian provocations.”
