Foreign embassies. russian Foreign Ministry. massive missile attack by russia. kremlin desinformation
False: "The flight of foreign embassies from Kyiv is dictated by the fear of retaliation for allowing Ukraine to fire long-range weapons deep into russia. Now Ukraine no longer has any value for the West", said russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman zakharova.
The truth: zakharova's comment is a classic example of misrepresentation and wishful thinking. No embassy in Kyiv has announced that it is shutting down its operations or leaving Ukraine. On 20 November, there was only talk of a temporary suspension of diplomatic missions.
The United States, Italy, Spain, Greece and other countries closed their embassies in Kyiv for 1 day due to the possible threat of a massive missile attack by russia. These measures were taken to protect the lives and health of both employees and citizens staying on the territory of Ukraine. The countries of the democratic world are clearly aware that a full-scale war unleashed by russia is ongoing in Ukraine, and anything can be expected from a terrorist country, so security is of utmost importance.
Another fake about recent events is that russia is forced to respond with a ‘powerful’ strike with a new ballistic missile to the US permission to fire its own missiles deep into russia. This demonstrative strike took place on 20 November, when the kremlin fired a new ballistic missile at a Ukrainian city. The truth is, however, that it is russia that is provoking Western countries to provide more weapons to Ukraine's defence forces. Alongside calls to stop the escalation, russia is using more and more attack drones, missiles and bombs, destroying cities, critical infrastructure and killing civilians. Ukrainians have no choice but to ask their partners for more powerful weapons to destroy military and logistics facilities inside russia. And today, 1,000 days later, there is no evidence that Ukrainians are deliberately bombing civilian targets. Not a single case of large civilian casualties due to attacks by the Ukrainian defence forces has been recorded in russia. This is the fundamental difference between the parties. Please remember that any information from russian sources should be verified.
