The fake message about social benefits to all Ukrainians with the support of European Union countries is being distributed on the Facebook social network. Fraudulent advertising was spread specifically to the Volyn region.

According to the Brekhunets, two versions of the fake were distributed this time. In the first option, they promised a refund of VAT for the last three years per Resolution 28-9329k. In the second case, each citizen was pledged to the payment of 9,800 hryvnias using a manipulative clip of a video with Volodymyr Zelensky. Next, using the link, you need to enter the bank card's last name, first name, and last six digits. Remember that the card number, CVV code, or PIN code are personal data that cannot be disclosed to anyone, not even bank employees. Resolution 28-9329k, which the authors of the messages refer to, does not exist at all. Using a reference to a non-existent document gives the impression that the offer has legal force. People write that they have been paid different amounts on the fraudulent page in the comments. Still, the state constantly clearly regulates the amounts of funds that are paid out as financial assistance to different categories of citizens. All these signs point to fraud. The goal of fraudsters is to steal card data to gain access to the personal funds of their owners. Previously, we wrote about how fraudsters offered payments from the EU using the fake page of Lesya Nikityuk or provided compensation for VAT refunds in the amount of 7-9 thousand hryvnias, etc.    

Russian propaganda spreads such messages in its media and Telegram channels. At the same time, propagandists refer to Western media - The Sunday Time, Daily Banner, BB-CNTV, and others. For example, the Western press wrote that the lack of agreement in NATO caused "the defeat of the idea of ​​deploying small contingents of the Alliance's troops in Western Ukraine." But it is not true. In fact, the Russian media only used the article's headline, which refers to the "division" of the alliance countries, not the "split," to spread a manipulative message.

The original source of the publication, which was reprinted by Western publications, is the British weekly The Sunday Time. The article tells that the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance are conditionally divided into three groups based on their views on the Russian-Ukrainian war and assessments of options for developing the situation. The first group is the so-called "hawks" - countries bordering Russia. They believe that NATO should do everything possible to help Ukraine regain control over its territory. Russia's defeat should be so devastating that it will no longer claim the territory of neighboring states. The second group is "doves," which includes countries that want a ceasefire and consider Kyiv's territorial concessions in favor of Moscow acceptable. Such an "agreement is unfair but practical." The third group - "ostriches," are those states that do not pay much attention to the conflict in Ukraine, although they support the documents adopted by NATO. Despite such a division of opinion, at the end of June, the leaders of the NATO member states adopted a new strategic concept, in which Russia is officially recognized as the biggest threat to the security of the North Atlantic Alliance. The main factor influencing the decision of the alliance was the military actions in Ukraine, which shook Euro-Atlantic security and "caused untold suffering and destruction." Such a decision testifies to the strategic unity of NATO countries. Russian propaganda systematically uses distorted or out-of-context quotes from Western politicians and media to promote individual messages, fakes, and manipulations. In this way, they are trying to destroy partnership relations between Ukraine and the world.    

Such information is disseminated on social networks and Russian media. They said there would be forced mobilization of women, so they could not go abroad. It is not true.

Currently, there are no grounds for the mobilization of women; therefore, there are no restrictions on them traveling abroad. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported this. "In the Russian media space, a fake about the mobilization of women in Ukraine was once again launched. We picked up this fake. Yes, it is a topic that will give many views, but there is no need to speculate on it during the war," Deputy Minister Hanna Malyar noted. The official also added that there is not a single forcibly mobilized woman in the Ukrainian army. Since 2014, they have served exclusively voluntarily.    

Such information is disseminated in the media and social networks. It is not true.

The Center for Combating Disinformation refuted several theses spread by propagandists regarding the new requirements for transport connections between Ukraine and the EU. In fact, the European Union will recognize Ukrainian driver's licenses, but they must be of a modern design. Therefore, only those who have not done so will have to replace their certificates. Also, within the framework of the agreement, Ukrainian carriers no longer need to issue permission documents for entry into EU countries. The agreement on "transport visa-free" with the agreement on "cargo transportation" and the adopted EU decisions on the abolition of customs duties and tariffs on Ukrainian goods allow Ukrainian businesses to save on paperwork and open up new opportunities for Ukrainian products on the EU markets.
