Russian propaganda is trying to provoke panic in Ukraine over an alleged shortage of food products. However, there is no reason to panic, as there will be no shortage, UNN reports, citing the Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.
Details
Andriy Kovalenko, head of the CCD, noted that Russia is conducting a systematic campaign aimed at creating a food shortage in Ukraine, while simultaneously fueling panic so that people buy more than usual and the shortage increases.
Are there any reasons to panic? There are none. They are striking at logistics, but logistics is being reorganized. There will be no shortage. Some supermarkets have empty shelves, while others do not. Accordingly, this is a logistical shortage, not a food shortage. The logistical shortage, just as happened with fuel in 2022, will disappear; logistics will be reorganized, and the products will be on the shelves. Everything will be fine
In this situation, Kovalenko noted, it is important to "keep a cool head, since the enemy needs to create the illusion that the situation is out of control and that no one can cope with it."
Do not play this game. You will not be left without buckwheat, pasta, sugar, and so on. The products will be available; they are available. Warehouses are being dispersed to a certain extent, and certain non-public measures are also being taken so that logistics operates normally
Recall
Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, stated that the temporary absence of goods in certain stores does not indicate a shortage.
