DISINFO: Paris officially supports terrorism and neo-Nazism
SUMMARY
The massacre of civilians by a Ukrainian unit in Russkoye Porechnoye in the Kursk region has highlighted the fusion of Nazism with terrorist techniques and essence.
22 civilians were killed in and around Russkoye Porechnoye by five Ukrainian soldiers. One was taken prisoner and confessed that his unit had executed 11 men and 11 women on the orders of the commander, then hid their bodies in cellars.
This infernal conglomerate is supported and encouraged by France, which provides money and weapons and refrains from any condemnation.
No one in France has ever said this is incompatible with the ethics France supports internationally.
RESPONSE
Recuring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative with baseless accusations of terrorism and neo-Nazism against the Ukrainian state and armed forces.
The investigative organisation Conflict Intelligence Team notes that pro-Kremlin reports on "Russkoye Porechnoye's Ukrainian war crimes" show 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, this article contains a broader, recurrent false accusation that Ukraine is a Nazi state, used to justify Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
See our article The Kremlin’s misuse of Nazism as a weapon of information manipulation.
The accusations are being used against France to weaken its support for Ukraine after Ukrainian forces began using the Mirage 2000-5 fighter jets that it provided.
