And now on Tuesday, Interfax, Politico, The Wall Street Journal, and others are reporting that Lyudmyla Denisova has been fired – precisely for floating and perpetuating fantastical claims of mass rape but without providing evidence…

However, a bunch of eager NGOs in Ukraine, hoping for fresh ‘western’ money for new ‘rape consultation and recovery’ projects, tried to find real rape cases. They were disappointed when they found that there was no evidence that any rape had taken place

    Nothing exposes the depths of western liberal moral depravity more than the phrase “disappointed to find that no rape had taken place”. It’s unfathomable how someone can WANT there to be horrific atrocities just to score political propaganda points and clicks on your atrocity porn “news” story…

    No wonder that when they can’t find any they just resort to creating some themselves, like with the White Helmets in Syria…

      It always bothered me how they would be like “a hundred people died in a mine in China” or “explosion kills 100 people in this country” without a hint of sadness and borderline glee of the affirmation of their system.

        And every “influencer” jumps on it pretending to give a shit but are actually just hoping to get clout and money.

    Just wait: her replacement will be noted academic and activist Adrianna Zenzova, who has proof that 40 billion Ukrainians are currently being held in gulags.
