Russian propagandists planning to use killed Ukrainians to create fakes - Zelensky

Russian propagandists are planning to use the bodies of killed Ukrainians to create another fake, the purpose of which is to blame the Ukrainian military for mass murder.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced this during a video address on the 43rd day of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"More and more information is coming in that Russian propagandists are preparing, so to speak, a 'mirror response' to the shock of all normal people from what they saw in Bucha. They are going to show the victims in Mariupol as if they were killed not by the Russian military, but by the Ukrainian defenders of the city," Zelensky said.

According to him, to do this, the occupiers collect corpses on the streets, take them out and can use them elsewhere in accordance with the elaborated propaganda scenarios.

"We are dealing with invaders who have nothing human left. To justify their own killings, they take the murdered people simply as scenery, as propaganda props," he said.

He stressed that such actions are a separate war crime, for which each of the propagandists will be held accountable. Zelensky stressed that more and more countries around the world support the need for a full and transparent investigation into all war crimes committed by Russian invaders in Ukraine.

He said that every murder case will be solved, every torturer will be found, and all those who committed rape or looting will be identified. "Responsibility is inevitable," Zelensky said.
