russian propaganda and vladimir putin personally continue to claim that Ukraine is “ready for negotiations” and “wants peace.”

However, the real actions of the russian federation show that such statements are only an attempt to absolve themselves of responsibility for the aggressive war and war crimes, as well as an attempt to convince the world that russians are “peaceful.”

Today is a day of mourning has been declared in Kharkiv due to another terrorist attack on the city by russia. The attack on the “Epicenter” shopping center killed at least 16 civilians, including children. More than 40 were injured.

Thus, russia continues to strike civilian targets in Ukraine on a daily basis.

The real goal of the kremlin is to intimidate Ukrainians with terror. By shelling the civilian population of Kharkiv, the enemy is trying to force as many Kharkiv residents as possible to leave the city, which, according to their plan, should destabilize the situation in Ukraine, promote panic and despair.

All moscow’s statements about peace are nothing but manipulation and deception.
