The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, this Sunday attacked Russia's “politics of falsehoods”, referring to the “propaganda machine” run by the Kremlin with the intention of misinforming about the war in Ukraine.
“They are trying to change responsibilities. They're lying. And they have already lost their connection with reality to the point that they accuse us of doing what Russian troops have obviously done, obviously for everyone in the world,” said the Ukrainian president in a message addressed to the Ukrainian population.
Zelensky has detailed the alleged Russian strategy of disinformation, with which he reportedly blamed Ukraine for the killings in Bucha and the missile attack on the Kramatorsk train station.
“They say about the murders in Bucha that it is not them, but supposedly us (...) They say about the missile attack in Kramatorsk that it is not them, but supposedly us (...) And about any of our destroyed cities, about any of our burned towns, they say the same thing, that it's not them either, but supposedly us,” he explained.
Likewise, the Ukrainian president has called the Russian military “cowards” as “cowards”, because according to him “they are afraid” of admitting that “Russia's entire policy towards Ukraine has been wrong for decades”, thus spoiling bilateral relations between the two countries.
This mistake would have led to others, such as the invasion of Crimea and the Donbas, the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, and the death of innocent people and children, according to the Ukrainian president.
On the other hand, nearly 1,800 Ukrainian civilians have been killed and more than 2,400 injured as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, according to the latest update of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, released this Sunday.
“From 4 a.m. on 24 February, when the armed attack by the Russian Federation began on Ukraine, until 00 a.m. on 9 April, the High Commissioner has recorded 3,893 civilian casualties in Ukraine: 1,793 dead and 2,439 injured,” according to the report.
The deceased have been identified as 458 men, 294 women, 46 boys and 27 girls, as well as 69 children and 899 adults pending identification. The injured have been identified as 279 men, 213 women, 47 girls and 46 boys, as well as 136 children and 1,718 adults pending identification.
By areas of control, the United Nations estimates 1,722 dead and 2,164 injured in territory still controlled by the Ukrainian Government, counting 571 dead and 963 injured in areas under its control of the disputed Donetsk and Lugansk regions in the east of the country. In the area under the control of the militias of these self-proclaimed republics, the UN has recorded 346 casualties (71 dead and 275 injured).
The United Nations points out that most civilian casualties were caused by the use of explosive weapons with a “wide area of impact”, through heavy artillery, the use of rocket platforms, as well as air strikes.
