Twitter removes tweets by Russian Embassy in United Kingdom for denying 'violent events' in Ukraine
Source: CNBC
Twitter took down two tweets by Russia’s embassy in the United Kingdom on Thursday for what the social media giant called “the denial of violent events” during the ongoing Russian attack on Ukraine.
In one of those tweets, Russia’s embassy claimed that a pregnant woman seen in a photo of casualties at a children’s hospital in the besieged port city of Mariupol that was destroyed by a Russian airstrike Wednesday was actually a Ukraine “beauty blogger” and suggested that the photo was staged propaganda.
That tweet contained two separate photos of women the embassy claimed are the same person. Another tweet referencing the claim remained online Thursday after two of the other tweets were taken down by Twitter.
“This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules,” the link to that tweet later read.

I feel so badly for the people, both in Ukraine & Russia.
Wtf is wrong with Russia? Long history of callous abuse.
