#Kramatorsk and #MH17

Russia tries to confuse us again with #Disinfo 🧵

2014: "Our guys do not have a BUK" (they had one of course, they even showed off with it on TV)

2021: "Russia does not have Tochka-U rockets."...of course they have...

After the terrible attack in Kramatorsk, a vast number of twitter profiles suddenly commented, that Russia does not have such rockets, so the Ukrainians are the ones to blame.

The target group of these trolls are people who say things like: "the Ukrainians want to provoke, the want to drag us into this war." "Cui bono", "I do not say that they did it themselves, but..." (but actually they say exactly this).

"Why should the Russians do that?" Well, good question, the started a full scale war against a democratic country and they send some of their most brutal and reckless groups there...so do the maths...

We have evidence, for instance publications and speeches, that the Kremlin wants to basically erase Ukraine as we know it. This includes civil society as well, not only military or leading politicians.

A relevant number of people in the West, especially in Austria or Germany ask for Zelensky to stop fighting, instead of Putin. They blame the victim, criticize Ukraine constantly and at the some they ignore or doubt Russia's war crimes.

I heard it with my own ears that people had doubts about Russia's responsibility for the war crimes in #Bucha despite all the evidence, including drone footage, satellite images, intercepted radio calls, interviews with victims and reports by journalists.
