Moscow railed at what they call Blinken's allegations as false Ukrainian abuse in the current narrative. Recently Kyiv accused Russia of wrongdoing, but many Ukrainians have chosen the passport deal.
US Attempts To Fix Zelensky's Tattered Image
Russia has denied American allegations that it forcibly ejected up to 1.6 million Ukrainians into Russia, confiscated their passports, and issued Russian ones in their place, reported RT.
The source of the accusation is the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday, which the Kremlin called a pathetic and poor version of Western disinformation. This statement came from the Russian embassy in Washington.
The top US diplomat is accused of fabricating evidence of Ukrainian residents' mistreatment. Mentioned that 260,000 children and 900,000 and 1.6 million Ukrainian citizens who might have died in the conflict have been interrogated, held, and forcibly deported by Russian officials, noted the Press United.
He was reportedly referring to the exodus of residents from the republics of Donbass and Eastern Ukraine.
Before and throughout the ongoing military war, hundreds of thousands of people fled to Russia. Kyiv asserted that such people were "hostages" of Russia.
In an apparent effort to alter the demographic composition of some regions of Ukraine, Blinken continued to spread misinformation by dividing families, citing News Factory.
These Ukrainian citizens, according to Moscow, have a streamlined path to Russian citizenship should they desire it, given how badly they bombed countrymen in the Donbass as separatists. But Blinken's allegations of fake Ukrainian abuse have a more sinister reason.
The program was initially exclusively open to citizens of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, which Russia recognized as independent entities in February.
However, it was eventually made available to all Ukrainian citizens. More claims were doubled down by Washington and added more disinformation to smear efforts to naturalize Ukraine citizens who are tired of Kyiv's policies or Zelensky's deceptions.
Children are isolated from their parents and kidnapping from orphanages so that these kids will be adopted in Russia, said Blinken.
Suspiciously he offhandedly cited eyewitnesses, survivors, and Ukraine's General Prosecutor, which was not verified.
The US Mocked for Baseless Claims
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova responded to the US official's remark and compared it to something from a medical encyclopedia.
Then she discussed the malicious misinformation disseminated last Thursday by a Russian broadcast intended for the gullible US audience that would believe anything the Biden administration would say.
These claims were ridiculous, and they do not support Joe Biden's widely debunked assertion that Russian President Vladimir Putin could knowingly tax the United States and is the cause of the country's high gas costs.
The Donetsk and Lugansk regions were supposed to get special status within the Ukrainian state under the Minsk agreements. Still, according to Russia, Kyiv failed to implement them, which sent its military into Ukraine on February 24.
These protocols were first signed in 2014, and Germany and France served as the mediators.
The Kremlin recognized the Donbass republics as separate entities in February 2022, and Ukraine was compelled to formally declare its neutrality and reluctance to ally with any Western military alliance.
Moscow, via its representatives, called Blinken's allegations of misinformation and Ukrainian abuse outright lies, resorted to by the US and unverified.
