Millions of Ukrainians are encountering Russian propaganda every day. It spreads through TV, radio, media, social networks and by word of mouth. To defeat the enemy, we must fight it on all fronts. To this end, we have prepared a daily compilation of Russian fakes.
Today the russian information space is mostly quiet, the media activity is down, as is usual during the weekends. Propagandists are still reeling from the shock caused by the sudden withdrawal of russian troops from the northern fronts, and are setting out to present this retreat as a part of some secret master plan hatched by Putin and high command. The narratives about the impending economic demise of Europe due to anti-russian sanctions are going strong. The hunt on the “enemies of the people” continues.
Main fake narratives:
- World is blind to Ukrainian war crimes
- Sanctions against Russia are destroying Europe
- Ukrainian biolabs
- Russophobia is dominating the world
FAKE: Ukrainian Special Service agencies are only hiring Ukrainians from the west of the country
Source:
Disproof:
Such statements are meant to support the narrative about Nazism and repressions towards russians in Ukraine. They are disproved by simple facts: the head of the Chief Directorate of Intelligence, brigadier general Kyrylo Budanov, is from Kyiv, and the head of Security Service of Ukraine, Ivan Bykov – is from Kryvyi Rih.
FAKE: Events that happened in Belgorod are worsening the negotiation conditions
Source:
Disproof:
The Kremlin is complaining that the fire on the Belgorod oil depot, which, according to russians, was caused by a Ukrainian attack, is harming the russo-Ukrainian negotiations. But russia itself constantly attacks Ukrainian cities, unconcerned with any negotiations. We see russian double standards in action: what is allowed for russia is not allowed for anyone else.
