The Russian Ministry of Defense spreads such lies. According to Russian propagandists, Kyiv believes that in this way, it can deter the offensive and bring a chemical catastrophe to Russia. In addition, the Zelensky Office allegedly decided to stop the withdrawal of troops from Sievierodonetsk to Lysychansk to show the West that the fighting spirit justified the supply of weapons. Russian propaganda, working ahead of schedule, regularly disperses allegations that the Ukrainian army plans to mine or undermine and accuses Russia of doing so. Another goal of such a lie is to distrust the Ukrainian military.

Today there are active battles for Sievierodonetsk in the Luhansk region; the Russians are storming the city, throwing all the reserves there now; it is their main goal. At the same time, they are systematically shelling the Azot chemical plant, where people are in bomb shelters. According to the head of the regional military-civil administration Serhiy Haidai, it is impossible to deliver food and medicine to Sievierodonetsk due to constant shelling, and the humanitarian situation is complicated.

Pro-Kremlin media are spreading lies, according to The Guardian economist Larry Elliott. In a May 3 report, Elliott expressed concern about the humanitarian catastrophe and suggested that sooner or later, an agreement should be reached between Russia and Ukraine. At the same time, the journalist added that it is difficult to compromise with the Kremlin due to the terrible atrocities committed by Russian troops. There is no support for the Putin regime in the text. The author believes that negotiations could be the best option for the world.

Based on the assumptions and reflections of an individual journalist, Russian propaganda created dozens of materials about the alleged recognition of power and invincibility of Russia by Britains.

The Center for Combating Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine reminds us that the Kremlin's use of experts who express a personal opinion is manipulation. In this way, Russia is trying to impose its point of view on the world.

The Center for Combating Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine refuted the most common fakes about the movement of Ukrainian railway trains.

First, all weapons provided by partners, including hand weapons, are transported in special cars and other routes. Secondly, missiles launched by the Russian army fly on a given trajectory to the destination, so it is doubtful to hit a moving train. Third, the money will not be lost. Ukrzaliznytsia allowed the return of tickets for canceled trains due to the war. It is also important to remember that train routes change due to the nature of the fighting. The train may be delayed in the event of a rocket attack on the railway infrastructure. Ukrzaliznytsia has clarified the schedule so that the train does not arrive at its destination during the curfew.

Russian occupiers were so impressed by the district museum of local lore in Popasna in the Luhansk region that they shot a video about it and disseminated it in the pro-Kremlin media, including Ria Novosti. According to them, the museum has a whole hall about one of the most common inventions of Russian propaganda about Ukraine - the so-called national battalions. To which, to their ridicule, they attributed Bohdan Khmelnytsky. In the video, the Russians show part of the exhibition dedicated to the anti-terrorist operation and the events of 2014-2017, in the center of which are the books "History of Ukraine," "Battle for Konotop" by Vladyslav Karnatsevych from the series "Famous Events of Ukrainian History" and "Archaeological war." The last book is a methodological recommendation of the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, which is designed to guide the military in a situation where the threat of destruction of archaeological heritage and how to minimize it.

After the ambassadors of the European Union approved the sixth package of sanctions against Russia on June 2, the pro-Kremlin media intensified the thesis that it would not affect Russia as much as the West. Russian propagandists write that the European Union has analyzed who is harmed by anti-Russian sanctions and decided to reconcile with Russia. Due to specific sanctions against Russia in the EU, inflation has been breaking all records recently, with grain and vegetable oil prices rising significantly. Therefore, the sanctions imposed by the European Union under the sixth package could lead to a "price shock," an increase in interest rates, and a decline in the population's purchasing power.

One of the sources of the manipulative idea of ​​reconciliation was a column by scholar William Moloney in the American publication The Hill entitled "Can Russia win a PR war against the West?". A writer citing the New York Times suggests that the United States and its allies are no longer staunch supporters of "victory" for Ukraine and harsh "punishment" for Russia as they were at the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. And that now they are trying to find an acceptable way to compromise to end the war. But nowhere in the column does the author claim that the European Union has decided to reconcile with Russia. Even though the European Union has approved the sixth package of sanctions against Russia and Belarus in connection with Russia's unprovoked aggression against Ukraine. In particular, the EU has decided to ban the purchase, import, or transit of crude oil and certain petroleum products from Russia. Excluding the use of Russian oil will take six months for crude oil and up to 8 months for other refined products.

If restrictive political and economic measures against Russia had not destroyed its economy, Putin would not have had to repeat as a mantra that "sanctions against Russia are largely provoking a global crisis." He has recently blackmailed the EU and the US by unblocking Ukrainian ports for grain exports after anti-Russian sanctions are lifted. And on June 4, he came up with another option, if Ukraine wants to export grain, it can do it, but not through ports, but through Belarus, and for this, the EU will need to lift sanctions from Minsk.

And if in Russia, an analog of McDonald's was invented, Russian companies have already faced a technological crisis due to Western sanctions. According to the Financial Times, they can not replace their electrical and computer equipment from global manufacturers who have completely stopped doing business in Russia.

In fact, Russia's real place is a lot of noise out of nowhere. All of Russia has less GDP than one state of California or Texas. The only valuable contribution of modern Russia to the world economy is oil and gas.
