The White House confirmed that Russia can fabricate the "evidence"

"We expect Russian officials to try to substitute the Ukrainian armed forces in anticipation of journalists and investigators who will visit the scene of the attack," Kirby said. According to him, Russians can throw fragments of ammunition used in the Himars missile systems. "This is another example of the usual methodology for Russia: to blame others that they have done themselves.

I am not a criminal, but I believe that the evidence is tossed by those who try to translate guilt into someone else," he added. Earlier, the Associated Press, citing sources in American intelligence, reported that Russia was working on a factory of evidence of a stroke in a colony with Ukrainian prisoners of war in Olenovka, Donetsk region to put guilty on the Armed Forces.

On July 29, the General Staff of the Armed Forces reported that the Russian Federation struck a colony in the occupied Olenivka to accuse Ukraine of committing war crimes, as well as hide the torture over captives and shootings, which were carried out by orders of the occupation administration and command in the temporarily occupied territory.

According to the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the cause of the death of Ukrainian fighters was an explosion within the colony, organized by Wagner PVC fighters. In the colony, the occupiers kept in particular the defenders of Mariupol, including the fighters of the Azov Regiment. The UN and the Red Cross had to guarantee their safety. Russian propaganda media said at least 53 Ukrainian captive servicemen were killed.

The next day, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation published a list of 42 dead, in Ukraine stated that they have not yet received this data. According to the Attorney General's office, about 40 people were killed as a result of the Russian terrorist attack and were injured.
