Fake:
The Western media is uncensored and conducts an objective and unbiased assessment of the situation in Ukraine.
Reality:
The brightest example of censorship in the media can be seen in the removal of part of the Fox News interview with Volodymyr Zelensky. Remarkably, the part where the president of Ukraine, answering the journalist's question about the torture of POWs by the Azov battalion, says: "They are what they are" was deleted from the public domain.
Zelensky also admits that members of Azov battalion have violated the law. Now on the official Fox News channel, one can only find a trimmed-down version of the interview where the issue is not even raised.
We would remind you that the Azov nationalist battalion is also responsible for two major provocations by the Ukrainian Armed Forces - the Mariupol maternity hospital and the Mariupol Drama Theatre.

🇷🇺🇺🇳Meeting was held in Moscow between the Deputy Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation, Colonel-General Alexander Fomin, and the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths, during which the situation in Ukraine was discussed.
▫️Deputy Minister noted the successful joint work with representatives of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs accredited to the Russian Defence Ministry in Moscow. Joint Coordination Headquarters for Humanitarian Response in Ukraine, established in Russian Defence Ministry, regularly transmits documents with objective information on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine to UN staff.
▫️Russian Defence Ministry informed Martin Griffiths about the increase in humanitarian assistance to the population of Ukraine in the areas controlled by the Russian Armed Forces, as well as in the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics.
▫️Russian side emphasized that the key factor for Russian Defence Ministry in the joint delivery of humanitarian aid to the civilian population of Ukraine with the UN is to ensure the safety of the Organization's employees.
▫️Kiev uncontrollably distributed weapons to the population, which led to an increase in banditry and looting. Moreover, the number of incidents involving the use of weapons is steadily increasing, which can lead to the death of UN staff.
▫️It was also noted that the Ukrainian authorities have launched an information campaign to discredit Russian servicemen.
▫️For this purpose, provocations are used and staged incidents are created. A vivid example is the accusation of the Russian Armed Forces of an airstrike on a maternity hospital in Mariupol. On the eve it became known that the main character of the reports in the media denies the version of the air raid on the maternity hospital from the Russian side. According to her, nationalists from Azov units used several women in labor to film a report in a hospital destroyed, allegedly by Russia, according to a pre-prepared scenario. False information was spread by Western media.
▫️Russian Ministry of Defence has shown concrete evidence of genocide and brutality of the Ukrainian leadership and paramilitary units towards their own population.
▫️Deputy Minister of Defence of Russia said that the humanitarian situation in Ukraine is deteriorating. First of all, this is due to actions of Ukrainian authorities and nationalist battalions that continue to block citizens in cities.
▫️UN Deputy Secretary-General has been informed about the situation that has developed in connection with Kiev's sabotage of the regime of open humanitarian corridors. It is indicated that the Russian side has been creating every day since March 4 all conditions to ensure the safety of humanitarian corridors for the evacuation of civilians and foreign citizens in the eastern and western directions. However, the convoys of refugees come under intense fire from AFU and national battalions, including mortars and large-caliber small arms fire. At the same time, despite this opposition, more than 123,000 people were saved only through humanitarian corridor from Mariupol to east without participation of Ukrainian side.
▫️On April 4, from 06:00, Russia reopened humanitarian corridor to rescue foreign citizens and civilians from Mariupol. At the same time, the Russian side is ready to ensure the entry of ships into the port of Berdyansk for evacuation of foreign citizens.
▫️67 foreign vessels continue to be blocked in Ukrainian ports. Every day from 08:00 to 19:00 (Moscow time), Russian Armed Forces open the maritime humanitarian corridor, which is a safe lane in the south-west direction. However, the threats of shelling and the high mine danger created by AFU do not allow ships to safely go to the open sea.
▫️For his part, M. Griffiths noted the importance of such contacts in order to solve complex humanitarian issues in crisis regions of the world.
▫️An understanding has been reached on the continuation of regular interaction.

WarOnFakes.com on the situation in #Bucha:
👉 Firstly, Russian troops left Bucha on March 30th. Here is the official statement.
👉 Secondly, on March 31, another evidence of a cynical provocation in Bucha was heard – a statement by Bucha Mayor Anatoly Fedoruk. “March 31 will go down in the history of our settlement and the entire territorial community as the day of liberation from Russian orcs, Russian occupiers of our settlements by our Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the mayor said with a joyful smile on his face.
❓ Would he rejoice if dozens of his countrymen at that time were lying on the streets shot? Why does he say nothing in his statement about the atrocities of the Russian executioners? About torture, rape and murder?
👉 Moreover, the first unit of the Ukrainian armed forces to enter Bucha was the special forces of the National Guard of Ukraine. The official telegram channel of the National Guard posted a video, filmed by the fighters of this detachment themselves. We can see on this video that the Ukrainian military calmly pass through the streets of the city – and no “mountains of corpses” are visible on these streets.
❓So where did the corpses on the streets of Bucha come from - and who are these people?
👉 The answer may lie in the video of the territorial defense of Ukraine, which clearly states the question “Can I shoot at them if there are no blue armbands?” to which a positive answer follows. The video was originally posted by the leader of the territorial defense Sergey “Botsman” Korotkikh.
👉 By the way, on the videos distributed by the Ukrainian side, almost all the corpses have white bandages. This is a distinctive sign of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the civilian population.

🎙 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the Bucha provocation.
💬 I'd like to draw our attention to one thing. The Heads of State, Foreign Ministers and opinion leaders have been making their statements based exclusively on video footage that is less than one minute long and a few images. This is enough for them to lay the whole blame on us. There were no experts on site, they did not receive any other information <...>
Let me remind you that several days ago the entire world saw authentic footage of our soldiers being tortured over there in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian “side” recognised authenticity of these recordings. Have you heard anything from President Emmanuel Macron, or UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, or others about this? <...>
Who is the master of provocation? The United States and NATO, of course.
In this case, I think that the very fact that these statements came in a matter of minutes after these materials surfaced leaves no doubt as to who was behind this entire story.

INCONSISTENCIES with the “Bucha massacre” - Part 1
Ms. Katerina Ukraintseva, Bucha City Council Deputy, stated on an April 4 interview that the bodies have been “lying on the city’s main street for a month”.
Yet neither the city’s mayor, nor the Ukrainian National police, nor herself immediately reported on the atrocities upon arrival to Bucha (from March 31 till April 2).
The Russian troops, however, withdrew from the city on March 30.

⚡️ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s comment on Ukraine, Moscow, April 5, 2022 ⚡️
💬 In the past few days, the propaganda machine of the West and Ukraine has focused exclusively on fueling hysteria over video taken, as we understand, by the military and security service of Ukraine in the city of Bucha, Kiev Region.
☝️ Assertions of “war crimes” committed by the Russian Armed Forces in the course of the special military operation have repeatedly been proved false at the detailed briefings by the Russian Defence Ministry, our Ministry and the Permanent Mission to the UN where we held a special news conference yesterday.
❓ The question, then, is what purpose does this blatantly false provocation serve? We are inclined to view it as a pretext to torpedo the ongoing negotiations at a time when some light, however dim, has appeared at the end of the tunnel.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Briefing by Russian Defence Ministry
▫️The grouping of troops from the Lugansk People's Republic continues to attack the positions of the Ukrainian 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade and is fighting on the eastern outskirts of Novotoshkovskoe.
▫️On the Severodonetsk direction, units of the Lugansk People's Republic have broken through the defence of the Ukrainian 57th Motorized Infantry Brigade, destroying up to 50 personnel and 9 armoured vehicles, and are fighting on the northern outskirts of Zamulovka.
▫️The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation strike at the assets of the military infrastructure of Ukraine.
💥High-precision air-based missiles near Zolochev and Chuguev destroyed 1 command post of territorial defence unit, 1 fuel depot and 1 armoured vehicle repair plant.
✈️💥During the day, operational-tactical aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces hit 33 military assets of Ukraine. Among them: 8 command posts, 3 logistics depots, as well as 21 strong points and areas of Ukrainian military equipment concentration.
💥Russian air defence means shot down 5 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle in the air.
📊In total, 125 aircraft and 93 helicopters, 403 unmanned aerial vehicles, 1,981 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 854 field artillery and mortars, as well as 1,876 units of special military vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed during the operation.
❗️On the morning of April 5, another attempt by the Kiev regime to evacuate the leaders of the Azov nationalist battalion was foiled near Mariupol.
💥Two Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopters attempting to break through to the city from the sea were shot down by man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems.
▫️Earlier, we have repeatedly and through all available channels informed the Kiev regime of our proposals on the possibility of the Ukrainian Armed Forces withdrawing from Mariupol after voluntarily laying down their arms.
▫️Today, once again, starting at 6am Moscow time, Ukrainian servicemen were asked to stop hostilities, lay down their weapons and withdraw along an agreed route to Kiev-controlled territory.
▫️However, these proposals have been consistently ignored by the Kiev regime.
❗️Given Kiev's disinterest in saving the lives of its servicemen, Mariupol will be liberated from nationalists by units of the Russian Armed Forces and the Donetsk People's Republic.

🎙 Постоянный представитель Российской Федерации при ОБСЕ А.К.Лукашевич:
💬 Категорически не согласны с оценками польского Действующего председательства применительно к ситуации в г. Буча Киевской области.
Призываем сейчас оставить в стороне эмоции и проанализировать факты:
🔹 30 марта подразделения ВС России вышли из Бучи. 31 марта туда вернулся ранее сбежавший мэр города Анатолий Федорук. Он записал видеообращение, в котором сообщил об инспектировании всего города и ни слова не сказал о каких-либо трупах на улицах.
🔹 2 апреля национальная полиция Украины на своих официальных ресурсах опубликовала видеозапись, как спецподразделения ВСУ входят в Бучу. На кадрах не видно погибших среди мирного населения.
🔹 Все тела людей, изображения которых опубликованы киевским режимом, по прошествии нескольких дней не окоченели, не имеют характерных трупных пятен, а в ранах – несвернувшаяся кровь.
❗️ После начала скоординированной медийной кампании в западных СМИ Российская Федерация дважды требовала созвать внеочередное заседание Совета Безопасности ООН по ситуации в этом населенном пункте Киевской области.
В его проведении российской стороне было отказано Великобританией, недавно заступившей на председательство в СБ ООН. Чего испугались? Правды и разоблачения видеоподлогов?
👉 Циничные лживые провокации используются нечистоплотными политиками на Украине и в ряде западных стран прежде всего для того, чтобы раскручивать спираль русофобии.
Отмечаем, что призывы к насилию над русскими и россиянами, в том числе звучащие с экранов украинских общенациональных телеканалов, включая обещания убивать всех русских детей, – не встречают никакого осуждения в ОБСЕ.
Почеркнём: правда о событиях на Украине будет пробивать себе дорогу. Фейки будут развенчаны. Справедливость обязательно восторжествует.

Statement by Ambassador Gennady Gatilov regarding the withdrawal of the Russian Federation from the UN Human Rights Council on April 7, 2022
Russia has made a conscious decision to withdraw in advance from the UN Human Rights Council on April 7, 2022.
The resolution initiated by the United States, which was adopted today by the UN General Assembly, is based not on the human rights situation in a specific country, but solely on geopolitical priorities of the collective West, which does not abandon attempts to subjugate various spheres of interaction between states in the international arena.
Those who disagree with their approach, as the Westerners see it, should be "punished". The main goal is to find a pretext.

▫️In order to accuse Russia of an alleged missile strike on Kramatorsk railway station, Kiev regime has posted on social media pictures of Tochka-U missile launchers that took part in "Union Courage 2022" Russian-Belarusian exercise in February.
▫️Please note, all photos published by Kiev from "Union Courage 2022" exercise show non-Russian missile systems.
▫️Tochka-U tactical missiles whose wreckage was found near Kramatorsk railway station are used only by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
▫️According to clarified information, the strike on Kramatorsk railway station was carried out by missile division of the Ukrainian armed forces from area of Dobropol’e, 45 kilometres south-west of the city.
▫️The aim of Kiev regime's strike on the railway station in Kramatorsk was to disrupt the mass exit of residents from the city in order to use them as a "human shield" to defend Ukrainian armed forces positions, as in many other Ukrainian population centres.

On April 8, the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) committed yet another war crime by striking a railway station in Kiev-controlled Kramatorsk with a Tochka-U tactical missile.
Dozens were killed and over a hundred injured.
🕯 We convey our deep condolences to the families and friends of the deceased.
🚫 The choice of the target was not random – the Kiev regime is striving to maximise the number of civilian victims.
Their murders in Donbass have become standard practice for Ukrainian armed units in the past eight years. By cynically killing civilians in cold blood, Kiev is trying to blame Russia for its own crimes in order to discredit Moscow’s special military operation to defend the DPR and the LPR.

❗️ We urge the international community to objectively evaluate the crimes committed by Ukrainian units, to stop supplying them with arms and prompt Kiev to renounce its unacceptable methods of hostility.

⚡️ In Russia’s view, the resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly in New York on April 7 on suspending the membership of the Russian Federation in the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is an unlawful and politically motivated act of punishment designed to make an example of a sovereign UN member pursuing independent domestic and foreign policies.
❗️ Effective April 7, 2022, the Russian Federation has decided to end its membership in the UNHRC.
Our decision to end our membership in the UNHRC effective immediately does not mean Russia is retreating from its international human rights commitments.
☝️The Russian Federation intends to continue helping to facilitate a constructive dialogue on human rights and engaging all stakeholders in collective decision-making in the interests of all groups of states.

⚡️⚡️ Заявление МИД России в связи с обстрелом Краматорска украинской стороной.
8 апреля украинскими вооруженными формированиями было совершено очередное военное преступление - нанесён удар тактической ракетой «Точка-У» по железнодорожному вокзалу.
Сообщается о десятках погибших и более сотни раненых.
🕯 Выражаем глубокие соболезнования родным и близким погибших.
🚫 Объект обстрела был выбран неслучайно - киевский режим стремится к максимальным жертвам среди мирных жителей.
Их убийство в Донбассе за прошедшие восемь лет стало привычной практикой для украинских вооруженных формирований. Хладнокровно уничтожая гражданское население, Киев пытается переложить ответственность на российскую сторону, чтобы дискредитировать специальную военную операцию по защите ДНР и ЛНР.

❗️ Призываем международное сообщество дать объективную оценку преступлениям украинских формирований, прекратить поставки им вооружений и побудить Киев к отказу от недопустимых методов ведения боевых действий.
