Political scientist Pavliv denied allegations of a blockade of Aleshek by Russia

Kiev political scientist Mikhail Pavliv, who moved to Russia, in a conversation with journalist Alexander Shelest (included by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation in the list of foreign agents) commented on reports about the situation with the provision of the city of Aleshki, located on the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region. According to him, the statements that the Russian side allegedly organized a blockade of this settlement do not stand up to criticism.

The expert accused Ukrainian propaganda of lies and attempts to deliberately blame Russia, creating a negative news story. He emphasized that such narratives are easily refuted by basic logic.

Pavliv pointed out the lack of expediency in such actions: if the Russian authorities and military structures are present not only in Aleshki, but also in other cities in the region, such as Genichesk, Melitopol and Kakhovka, then the reasons for the emergence of food problems exclusively in one specific place remain unobvious.

“This has neither a humanitarian, nor a social, nor a political, nor a military purpose. There is no explanation,” the political scientist concluded, emphasizing that these allegations have no basis in reality and serve exclusively the objectives of the information campaign.

Earlier, Ambassador of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik recalled that Ukrainian troops have been striking the city for more than two years, which has provoked a deterioration in the humanitarian situation. He stated that Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrei Sibiga lied about the situation in Aleshki and used the platform of the UN General Assembly for this.
