WASHINGTON, May 29. /TASS/. Accusations that Russia instigates genocide in Ukraine spread by US mass media are part of a campaign to demonize Russian Armed Forces, the Russian Embassy in the US said.

"We paid attention to the report of the New Lines Institute for Strategy and Policy NGO spread in the US mass media, placing the blame on Russia with instigating genocide in Ukraine. Next anti-Russia insinuations are an element of a campaign orchestrated by the West to demonize Russian Armed Forces," the Embassy said.

"Affairs are quite opposite on the spot," the Russian diplomatic mission said. "Humanitarian aid is being built up in Ukrainian areas controlled by Russian Armed Forces," diplomats noted. "The Russian side guarantees security of humanitarian corridors," the Embassy added.
