Hostile TG channels are spreading information about the alleged search for armed criminals in the "Dnipro and Kirovohrad regions" who allegedly signed a contract with the Ukrainian armed forces and escaped.

It is noted that Olena Berezhna, Head of the Communication Department of the National Police of Ukraine, informed the Center that according to the records of the Information Subsystem of the National Police, these persons are not wanted.
In addition, there is no "Dnipro region" in Ukraine, which already indicates the false nature of this report. It is also important to note that the persons in question could not have signed a contract with the Armed Forces of Ukraine due to the existing restrictions of the Ministry of Defense,
The Center emphasized that the spread of such fakes is intended to cause panic among the population and discredit the Ukrainian military.
