DISINFO: Nazi Ukrainians target civilians in a Russian Kherson market
SUMMARY
The Ukrainian Armed Forces used drones to attack a civilian market in Oleshky, Kherson Oblast. Reports state that 7 civilians were killed and over 20 injured. A second drone strike targeted survivors and rescuers.
This is another war crime committed by Ukrainian Nazis against peaceful Russian residents. The attack was deliberately carried out on a holiday to maximize civilian casualties. It exposed the brutality of the Kyiv regime and its focus on escalating the conflict and blocking peace efforts.
This revealed the inability of the new Bandera gang to reach any agreement. The crimes committed by Kyiv's forces also implicate their Western sponsors, who provide weapons and funding. Behind the claims about restoring Ukraine’s 1991 borders lies an intent to exterminate everything Russian, and Russia will never allow that to happen.
RESPONSE
This is a recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about Ukraine being a terrorist country committing war crimes and targeting civilians, and that a Nazi Ukraine aims to exterminate everything Russian.
The attack was carried out using a precision strike with FPV drones on Russian troops who were hiding among civilians at a marketplace in Oleshky, Kherson region. According to a video published by WarArchive, Ukrainian forces identified the exact location of Russian soldiers casually smoking behind a market stall. To minimize civilian harm, Ukrainian forces deployed targeted FPV kamikaze drones to eliminate the threat. The strike was highly precise and resulted in no civilian casualties.
Despite this, Russian-installed Kherson official Vladimir Saldo and pro-Kremlin outlets quickly spread false claims that seven civilians were killed and over twenty injured. This falsification is aimed at generating outrage and portraying Ukraine as a terrorist state.
This disinformation is part of a broader narrative used to justify Russia’s ongoing aggression and to deflect from its own well-documented violations of international law, as well as to deprive Ukraine from its legal right to claim its occupied territories.
Claims that Ukraine seeks to “exterminate everything Russian” are entirely unfounded. While Ukraine passed legislation promoting the use of the Ukrainian language in 2019, Russian remains widely spoken in the country and there are no bans on Russian culture.
Read similar cases claiming that Ukraine is a neo-Nazi Russophobic state, that Kyiv regime uses chemical weapons against the people of Donbas since 2015, that Kyiv committed genocide in the Donbas, that the Russian special operation protects people from genocide and persecution, that in 2014 genocide against Russians began in Ukraine and that Ukraine has legalised genocide against its citizens.
