DISINFO: Ukraine deliberately fires at children

SUMMARY

The Ukrainian Army knows where the troops in the Donbas are. Thus, the Ukrainian Army fires deliberately at civilians, which leads to the death of children as well.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation about the war in Ukraine. The 9 May daily report of the OSCE Monitoring Mission in Ukraine recorded four injured children over the week before. However, there is no proof that the Ukrainian Army targeted any children deliberately and the OSCE monitoring mission report does not make an attribution to either of the parties. See recent disinformation alleging that Kyiv will soon try to take back the Donbas and that Kyiv's Western protectors are inflaming war in the Donbas.
