Russians are spreading fake information about the death of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers under the "Contract 18-24" program in the Kursk region - Center for Counteracting Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council
Kyiv • UNN
Enemy Telegram channels are spreading fakes about the destruction of groups of Ukrainian soldiers aged 18-24. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have denied the information and reported that the soldiers are still undergoing training.
Information about the alleged mass death in the Kursk direction of soldiers who joined the ranks of the Armed Forces under the "Contract 18-24" program is not true. The Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council writes UNN.
Details
It is noted that enemy Telegram channels are spreading a series of posts about the "complete destruction" of several groups of allegedly Ukrainian soldiers aged 18-24 years of the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region, who after a short training "immediately die on the battlefield".
After verifying the information with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Center reports that the newly-minted contract servicemen "18-24" are still undergoing appropriate preparatory stages, and the brigade is not even performing relevant tasks in the direction. Therefore, the information spread by ru-propagandists is fake
The CPD stressed that such fakes are part of an information campaign by the Russian Federation aimed at discrediting the mobilization process and the "Contract 18-24" program.
ru-propagandists have repeatedly spread fakes about the "18-24" program, which the Center has refuted.
