The Center for Countering Disinformation of the NSDC warns of a new wave of Russian fakes. Pro-Kremlin media are spreading "evidence" of alleged looting and mining of bodies by Ukrainian military personnel.
Russian propaganda has intensified its campaign to discredit the Ukrainian military, spreading another series of fakes about alleged "inhuman tactics" and "abuse of civilians." This was warned by the Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (CCD), informs UNN.
Details
It is noted that pro-Kremlin media published "testimonies" of Russian military personnel, claiming that the Armed Forces of Ukraine allegedly "rob and burn houses" of residents of Yablunivka, Donetsk region. Disinformation is also being spread that during the retreat, Ukrainian military personnel allegedly "mine the bodies of dead civilians and their own soldiers."
