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.
FAKE: During the German occupation of Rava-Rus’ka Ukrainians killed Jews under Nazi orders
Source:
Disproof:
Russia, in its attempts to accuse Ukraine of being a Nazi state, once again rewrites history.
Rava-Rus’ka was a mostly Jewish city before the World War II. After Germans captured it, they organized a mass execution campaign. Expansive mass burial sites were found around the city after the war. 17 000 Jews were killed in Rava-Rus’ka, 13 000 were moved into Germany to be killed there. Combined with everyone killed in POW camp Stalag-325, around 42 thousand people were killed in Rava-Rus’ka. It was done by Germans, who killed Jews, but also Ukrainians and Poles.
About Israeli response to President Zelensky’s address – his speech was followed by massive demonstrations supporting Ukraine. As always, Russian propagandists have found a single negative reaction among the members of the Knesset, and framed it as a reaction of the whole country. The “moral nation” commentary was made by Simcha Dan Rothman, a member of the Knesset for the Religious Zionist Party – an orthodox and conservative, who stands for Israeli self-isolation.
FAKE: The Governor of Odessa Oblast had ordered to block evacuation routes for civilians

Disproof:
Another attempt to accuse Ukraine of blocking the civilian evacuation routes, even though Russia itself constantly blocks the evacuation attempts and attacks evacuation columns.
The Governor of Odessa Oblast, Maksym Marchenko, had never issued such an order. He posted a disproof on his official channel (see picture below). All orders are posted on the official website and official Facebook page.
FAKE: Bigger half of the worlds are friends with Russia
Source:
Disproof:
A total of 141 countries had voted if favor of the UN resolution which reaffirms Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity and calls for Russia to stop its war against Ukraine and recall its troops (see picture below).
Russia’s friends are Syria, North Korea, Belarus, and Eritrea.
