In the near future, Russian special services may resort to staging crimes, in particular against the civilian population of the Kursk region, in order to accuse the Armed Forces of Ukraine of committing them. This was reported by Komersant ukrainskyi
with reference to the THE SECURITY SERVICE OF UKRAINE.
The agency said that it has already recorded attempts by Russian special services to use the situation in the Kursk region to falsely accuse Ukrainian defenders of committing war crimes. For this purpose, the Russian side creates and disseminates various fakes and information injections that have nothing to do with reality.
“Such information and psychological special operations of the enemy are primarily related to the inability to effectively counteract the offensive actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Such attempts are futile and will not affect either the offensive actions of the Armed Forces or the opinion of our country’s international partners,” the SBU said.
They also added that the Ukrainian Defence Forces have proven to the world that they strictly adhere to the rules and customs of warfare. In particular, both with regard to the treatment of Russian prisoners of war and civilians.
