russian occupation forces prepare for large-scale provocation in Mariupol to accuse Ukraine of killing civilians

The Security Service of Ukraine reported this.

According to intelligence officials, after exposing the atrocities of the russian army in Bucha and the Kyiv region, Russia wants to divert the audience's attention.

To do this, they are actively developing fake scenarios about alleged crimes in Ukraine.

According to the SBU, the propagandists are currently preparing the groundwork and "throwing" into the information field lies about the alleged crimes of Ukrainian defenders of Mariupol.

According to available data, the occupiers are preparing a large-scale fake: they plan to gather in one place the bodies of the Mariupol killed by the Russians and present them as mass victims of Ukrainian troops.

The information space is already spreading the thesis that "Ukrainians use civilians as human shields."

"In fact, it is russian troops who are destroying Mariupol residents. Back in early March, the city was forced to bury the dead in mass graves," the statement said.

In addition, on March 18, the Head of the Central Command Post of the General Staff of Russia Mykhailo Mizintsev announced the murder of "93 militants disguised in civilian clothes" and tried to leave Mariupol.

Russia has already begun to justify the killing of civilians.

Note.

Mariupol has been under blockade since March 1.

The russian military closed all entrances to Mariupol and blocked access from the sea. Constant shelling of the city continues.

In Mariupol, more than 90% of all buildings were completely destroyed.

Currently, about 130,000 civilians remain in the city, who are unable to leave for safe areas due to russia's actions. The city has no electricity, water, gas, shops were looted.

The occupiers are not keeping quiet, despite agreements on humanitarian corridors.
