russians are spreading disinformation to sow discord between Kharkiv and other regions of Ukraine, claiming that Kyiv is doing nothing to strengthen Kharkiv's defense.

The russians are spreading provocative statements that Kyiv is allegedly doing nothing to protect Kharkiv from shelling in order to sow division between the regions of Ukraine. This was warned by the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council, UNN reports.

Details 

russian propaganda outlets are currently spreading disinformation and manipulative messages that promote the narrative that Kyiv is "doing nothing to protect Kharkiv and help Kharkiv residents.

They say that all the resources and air defense systems are concentrated in Kyiv to support "officials and oligarchs," while Kharkiv suffers from shelling and a lack of electricity.

Also, ru-propaganda spreads manipulations about the alleged "unfair distribution of humanitarian aid between regions" and fakes about the lack of payments to mobilized people

In this way, the enemy is trying to turn Kharkiv residents against residents of other regions of Ukraine, to sow distrust of the state authorities among Kharkiv residents, and to devalue all support from Kyiv and other regions in the eyes of Kharkiv residents

- explained the Center for Countering Disinformation. 

Recall

The State Emergency Service said that russians are spreading fake information allegedly from rescuers about "evacuating" Kharkiv due to the possible encirclement by russian invaders.
