💬Dmitry #Polyanskiy: Western and Ukrainian🇺🇦 fake factory has stepped up to a new level & got down to fabrications in the best traditions of notorious #WhiteHelmets. Unprecedentedly cruel and “crude” provocation in the town of #Bucha is still on everyone’s lips.
❗️Statement by First Deputy Permanent Representative Dmitry Polyanskiy at UNSC briefing on the situation in Ukraine
Mr. President,
We never doubted that today our Western colleagues would produce lots of speculations as to what is going on in Ukraine in light of the Russian special military operation. Your scheme of action is clear to us. You seek to twist and besmirch the goals of the SMO, downplay the facts that are inconvenient to you, advance fakes and propaganda narrative, promoted by Ukraine and professional Western consultants who work for the Kiev regime. All your efforts meet the logic of information war that is being waged on Russia and that is not inferior to actual hostilities on the ground in terms of its intensity.
Our Albanian colleagues set a new benchmark of disinformation today. The Permanent Representative of Albania read out almost a full list of crimes that are ascribed to Russia, but did not bother to mention that neither of those cases had any credible evidence. I take it that you completely defied presumption of innocence.
Recently, Western and Ukrainian fake factory has stepped up to a new level and got down to fabrications and stagings in the best traditions of notorious Syrian-British White Helmets. Unprecedentedly cruel and “crude” provocation in the town of Bucha (Kiev region) is still on everyone’s lips. One propagates it as a Russian crime, despite irrefutable evidence that proves the staged nature of the incident, and that is getting more and more numerous. I will not go into detail here, because we already did it last Tuesday, after the British Presidency of the Security Council had done its best to not allow for a separate UNSC meeting on the topic – in violation of the Council’s basic rules of procedure.
Let me just say that when thoroughly analyzing the acts of Ukrainian nationalists, it is hard to get rid of a déjà vu feeling. Back in 1944, ideological teachers of Kievan radicals, who acted in the best traditions of Goebbels’s propaganda, organized a provocation with civilians who had allegedly been killed by Red Army soldiers in the village of Nemmersdorf in Eastern Prussia. Shortly before that, all major German newspapers had received guidelines stipulating how exactly they should present the alleged “atrocities” of Soviet soldiers.
Nowadays newspapers are not read that often, so such guidelines are first circulated in social media with no attempts made to actually conceal this fact. Those who do this commission background actors, specify aspects that should be accentuated, etc. In a word, Goebbels would have been impressed by style and scale of his Ukrainian disciples, had it not been for the quality of performance, which failed them.
Later on, various experts provided credible refutation of the Nemmersdorf case that was designed to accuse Red Army soldiers of mass murders and rapes. The name of the village then became proverbial and was widely used to designate a gross staging carried out for propaganda purposes. Exactly same thing happened recently in Bucha. But even this one was outmatched by what we saw at the end of this past week. I am referring to the provocation that Ukrainian nationalists organized in the city of Kramatorsk that was still under their control. This one was a classical “false-flag”operation. Let me speak of it in more detail, especially given that many of us already mentioned it today.
On 8 April, Ukrainian military carried out a Tochka-U air strike from the area of Dobropol’e (45 km southwest of Kramatorsk) against the Kramatorsk railway terminal, killing 50 people, including 5 children. 98 people were taken to hospitals of Kramatorsk, including 16 children, 46 women, and 36 men.
