ru-propaganda escalates its disinformation campaign about the “atrocities of the AFU”
ru-propaganda has significantly intensified the spread of fakes as part of its disinformation campaign about the “atrocities of the AFU” in kursk. In recent days, numerous videos have surfaced featuring local residents claiming to have witnessed crimes committed by Ukrainian forces.
The individuals in these propaganda videos recount incredible stories of “mass executions of civilians,” “raped elderly women,” and “Polish mercenary looters.” However, no real evidence is provided—these are mostly second-hand accounts that contain no concrete details about the alleged “crimes.”
At the same time, russian investigative authorities are opening formal criminal cases, accusing Ukrainian forces of civilian casualties caused by shelling. However, it is well known that the most severe destruction in towns and villages in kursk was the result of russia’s own mass strikes.
The Center has repeatedly reported that ru-propaganda aims to portray russia as a victim by spreading disinformation about “atrocities of the AFU” in kursk settlements. In doing so, the kremlin continues to develop the myth of the “russian Bucha.” Behind this flood of fakes, the enemy seeks to obscure its own proven crimes against humanity.
