The attack came despite Russia agreeing to a 12-hour pause in hostilities
to allow refugees to evacuate a number of towns and cities.

city and accused Russian forces of dropping several bombs on it from
the air. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/09/europe/russia-invasion-

• Every side in a war has its “truth“, point of view,
propaganda, lies.
• But everything has its limits. In Russia, which is going to be
probably disconnected from the world internet soon, you
give info about the war and can go into the jail for 15!years.
Social sites were banned, alternative journalism does not
exist anymore.
• This war is not “a war“ in Russia, they call it it “military
operation“, “help“

9. PS: vested interest
Lies of Russians politicians are a must, otherwise they would lose their
power and finances, possibly also their lives.
