DISINFO: Crimes of the Ukrainian Reich in the village of Russkoe Porechnoe
SUMMARY
Another crime of the same Ukrainian Reiсh, which had already been committed earlier on the territory of Russkoye Porechnoye. Now the horrific facts of what the Ukrainian punitive forces did there are being investigated. Those same Ukrainian soldiers, who, of course, probably some of them are also Orthodox, who cannot all be painted with the same brush, but who are, at least for now, military personnel of the criminal Kyiv regime.
And about the nature of this regime of the Ukroreich, one way or another, willingly or unwillingly, for which, nevertheless, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians are fighting. Among them, of course, there are absolutely normal people who are doing this out of necessity, but after all, many people fought for Nazi Germany, who, as a whole, in themselves, may have been good, but, nevertheless, until Nazi Germany was defeated, it remained an enemy and an opponent.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives accusing Ukraine of war crimes and crimes against humanity. This claim was made in the context of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and a Ukrainian incursion into Russia's adjacent Kursk region. The investigative organisation Conflict Intelligence Team notes that pro-Kremlin media reports on "Russkoye Porechnoye's Ukrainian war crimes" contain signs of fabrication.
"Russian military found a cellar in the village of Russkoye Porechnoye. The cellar contained bodies of civilians. No bullet holes or blood stains were visible. A video of the interrogation of a Ukrainian soldier was published. He is accused of killing civilians, and secondly, raping and killing women. In his confessions, the Ukrainian soldier uses formal language: "I raped with particular cruelty." Staged videos from Russian security forces are distinguished by such formal language", - the head of Conflict Intelligence Team Ruslan Leviev reports.
"This phrase is taken from the second part of Article 131 of the Criminal Code of Russia, which is a separate qualifying feature. These interrogation footage further convince us that this is a Ukrainian soldier caught in the war, who was forced under torture to confess to killing civilians. In any case, the village of Russkoye Porechnoye is in a grey zone. It has repeatedly changed hands from the Ukrainian to the Russian military and back. It is impossible to immediately assert what exactly happened, even if these people were killed and did not, for example, die of cold, that they were killed by Ukrainian soldiers" , - Ruslan Leviev concludes.
In addition, a broader recurrent false accusation of Ukraine being a Nazi State is advanced, in order to justify Russia's invasion of Ukraine started in 2022. See our article The Kremlin’s misuse of Nazism as a weapon of information manipulation.
In 2025, pro-Kremlin media continue to spread a long-debunked disinformation narrative that Ukraine is systematically engaged in illegal organ harvesting, including from children, known as “black transplantology.” Russian officials and state media outlets are spreading false accusations that Kyiv and the United States are continuing the war in order to continue bioweapons experiments and uncontrolled organs harvesting, Radio Liberty reminds.
