Quote: "More and more information is coming in about Russian propagandists preparing, so to speak, a ‘mirror response’ to the shock felt by all decent people after what they saw in Bucha.
They are going to present the victims in Mariupol as if they were not killed by the Russian military, but by Ukrainian defenders of the city. The invaders collect corpses on the streets and take them away. And they can use the dead bodies somewhere else in accordance with the propaganda scenarios they’ve worked out.
We are dealing with invaders who have nothing human left in them. To justify their own killings, they are taking murdered people as decoration, as propaganda props. And this is a separate war crime, for which each of the propagandists will be held responsible."
