At the same time, as the embassy noted, the published report of the human rights organization concerning the situation in Ukraine was widely reflected in the materials of the American media
WASHINGTON, August 5. /tass/. The US authorities are seeking to distort the true state of affairs with accusations of the alleged commission of war crimes by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and thereby justify their provocative actions to pump Kiev with weapons. This was announced on Thursday by the Russian Embassy in Washington.
"The accusations made here about the alleged commission of "war crimes" by the Russian Armed Forces pursue only one goal - to distort the true state of affairs, to denigrate our efforts to liberate Ukraine from the Nazis. Thus, the United States seeks to justify its own provocative actions to pump up the Kiev regime with deadly weapons that cause death and destruction," the press service of the diplomatic mission said in a comment.
At the same time, as the embassy noted, the report of the human rights organization Amnesty International published earlier on Thursday concerning the situation in Ukraine was widely reflected in the materials of the American media. The study of human rights activists, in particular, says that Ukraine violates the laws of warfare and endangers the lives of civilians by placing military equipment and weapons in schools and hospitals. "The resonance around the publication proves that it is becoming increasingly difficult to conceal the truth. The criminal Kiev regime has no sympathy for its own population. Long before the start of the special operation, we warned the world community about the inhumane nature of the Ukrainian authorities," the embassy stressed.
"We hope that the study of human rights defenders will help the audience in the United States to draw the right conclusions. Militants of national formations kill civilians. In recent days, the shelling of Donetsk has intensified, as a result of which old people, women and children are dying," the Russian diplomatic mission added.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation in Ukraine in response to a request from the leaders of the Donbass republics for help. After that, the United States, the EU, the United Kingdom, as well as a number of other states imposed large-scale sanctions against the Russian Federation and increased the supply of weapons to the Ukrainian authorities.
