Russia staged a provocation in Donetsk to accuse Ukraine of violating the "ceasefire" - CCD

The Russians claimed an attack on Donetsk on April 20 to accuse Ukraine of violating the "Easter truce" announced by Putin.

This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation.

On Sunday, April 20, Russian media reported alleged three explosions in Donetsk that occurred amid the "truce." Propagandists disseminated photos and videos showing smoke. The Center emphasizes that, in reality, the Russians themselves are not adhering to their so-called truce, continuing assaults and shelling.

"The goal of such fabrications is to accuse Ukraine of unwillingness to move towards peace and to create an image of Putin as a supposed peacemaker. Ukraine, under the corresponding conditions, acts and will act only in a mirror-like manner," added the post.
