☄️ The U.S. State Department's report on the human rights situation in Russia consists of groundless accusations against Moscow. This was stated in a comment by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

She emphasized that particular bewilderment is caused by the absurd insinuations about the Russian side's alleged commission of "war crimes and crimes against humanity," "torture, and unlawful killings of Ukrainian citizens."

Zakharova stressed that the "generation of this kind of disinformation within the bowels of the Washington bureaucracy" continues by inertia, set by the administration of former U.S. President Joe Biden, which lost all sense of measure in its enthusiastic promotion of pseudo-democratic values.

"It is well known that it lost all measure in its enthusiastic and mentor-like promotion of pseudo-democratic values. This, however, did not prevent it from turning a blind eye to the authoritarian and extremely repressive nature of the neo-Nazi Kyiv regime it patronized, which, until the last day of the former U.S. president's term, was reliably supplied with American offensive weapons," the statement said.
