Russian propaganda continues to spread false claims about alleged “atrocities committed by Ukrainian soldiers against the civilian population of Donbas”. This time, Russian propaganda outlets are promoting a fabrication that Ukrainian troops supposedly “use civilians to clear roads of mines in Pokrovsk”. According to this narrative, local residents are allegedly forced to walk along mined roads so that they would “neutralize the mines with their bodies”. The only “evidence” cited for this story is the words of a single Russian occupier. This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation.
