Russians are spreading a fake video to discredit the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region. They say that the Ukrainian military are allegedly looting local stores. This is reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation, UNN reports.
Details
Analysts said that hostile resources are spreading videos of the allegedly Ukrainian English-language media outlet United24 media.
The released footage allegedly shows radio conversations intercepted by the Ukrainian side, in which the Russian commander asks his soldiers to eat only the food they brought with them.
The video distributed by the Russians also describes cases of fatal poisonings among Ukrainian soldiers fighting in the Kursk region after allegedly eating food stolen from local supermarkets.
United24 media stated that this information was fake and that they had not published such a video. By inventing such fakes, Russian propagandists are trying to discredit the Ukrainian military, who are participating in the operation in the Kursk region, by attributing crimes to them that they did not commit
The Center also emphasized that, unlike the Russian military, Ukrainian soldiers do not commit looting and treat the local population with respect.
Recall
The aggressor country's propaganda media accuse the Ukrainian Armed Forces of shelling positions in the Kursk region with chemical weapons. The Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security said that this is part of the enemy's disinformation campaign to cover up its own crimes with chemical agents.
