Russia’s current information war is designed to discredit the Ukrainian military and volunteer battalions, falsely accusing them of committing mass executions. Russian propaganda “portrays Ukrainians as criminals committing war crimes against those fighting for freedom,” said Kuleba. Russian media reports about discoveries of mass graves are just the latest re-iteration of coordinated propaganda against Ukraine, its military and leaders in an attempt to turn Russians against Ukrainians. Unlike the false reports emanating from Russia, Ukrainian military forces and the police have actually discovered evidence of mass burials and executions in formerly occupied territory. “We unfortunately had the experience of discovering mass burials after liberating Sloviansk,” stated Kubela. “We are not using these facts in propaganda, we just report these facts and conduct an investigation.”
