The Armed Forces of Ukraine called on journalists to more thoroughly verify information. This happened after reports of an audit that appeared on the supposedly personal page of the new Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Mykhailo Drapatyi, on the social network "X" - which later turned out to be a fake. This is reported by UNN with reference to the Joint Forces Operation.
Details
Recently, a number of leading and reputable websites spread news concerning the former commander of the JFO, and now the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Major General Mykhailo Drapatyi.
