Lies about the location of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Odessa Regional Hospital/Channel 24 Collage
The Russians are again trying to justify their atrocities against the civilian population by accusing the Armed Forces of Ukraine of placing their command posts in hospitals, maternity hospitals, schools and other socially sensitive facilities. This time, a statement was heard in the propaganda information field of Russia that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had deployed a command post in the Odessa Regional Hospital.
This was announced by the speaker of the operational command “South” in the morning report over the past day. He stressed that the enemy is lying cynically in order to later accuse the Ukrainian army of killing civilians.
The enemy plans to strike civilian infrastructure
Operational command “South” reports that the enemy intends to strike at the civilian infrastructure of the Odessa region. Reznik noted that this is not the first time the monsters are trying to justify their violations of the rules of war in advance, accusing the Armed Forces of Ukraine of placing their command posts in hospitals, maternity, schools and other socially sensitive facilities.
Statement by the Russian Ministry of Defense
According to OK “South”, the Russian Ministry of Defense on its official resource accused the Ukrainian authorities of locating the command post of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Odessa Regional Hospital. Moreover, in the courtyard of the hospital, the sick fantasy of the Russians “painted” armored vehicles, artillery and multiple launch rocket systems of the Ukrainian army.
Cases of false statements by Russia
Shelling of a maternity hospital in Mariupol
March 9, the Russians launched a cynical airstrike on a children's hospital in Mariupol. As a result, a maternity hospital in the city center, a hospital, a children's department and therapy were destroyed.
4 hours before dropping bombs on the maternity hospital in Mariupol, the press secretary of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, lied, allegedly the Ukrainian Armed Forces expelled patients from there and set up firing positions.
Subsequently, the propagandist Solovyov said that the bombing of the maternity hospital aircraft of the occupiers – “staged”, there were fighters of the Azov battalion in the house, and women in labor in the photo – actresses.
Bombardment of the Drama Theater in Mariupol
On March 16, the Russians dropped a super-powerful bomb on the Drama Theater theater in Mariupol. According to the military, there were about a thousand civilians hiding from constant shelling by the invaders.
The Associated Press, the largest US news agency, conducted an investigation and suggested that about 600 people died as a result of the bombing. The building had an inscription in Russian – “Children”. Therefore, the Russians deliberately beat the place where there were hundreds of children. Probably, in this case, the aggressor's army pushed its responsibility for the killings on the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
