How Russia turns civilian homes into "military targets" - Break the Fake - TVP WORLD



In the Kremlin’s version of reality, Russia never strikes first. Missiles hit civilian homes on their own, wars begin “in response,” and aggression is always someone else’s fault.

Russian officials, including Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, continue to insist that attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and residential areas are not acts of war, but a form of “self-defense.” This episode breaks down that narrative step by step.

From Chernihiv to Kharkiv, from Kyiv’s power plants to destroyed homes, the reality of the war sharply contradicts what Russian state media outlets tell their audiences.

We expose how propaganda turns residential buildings into “military facilities,” civilians into “collateral damage,” and war crimes into televised talking points – and why this carefully constructed illusion continues to collapse under the weight of facts.
