Spilnota Detector Media

Here we document all narratives, messages, and tactics, which Russia is using from February 17th, 2022. Reminder: the increasing of shelling and fighting by militants happened on the 17th of February 2022 on the territory of Ukraine. Russian propaganda blames Ukraine for these actions

Manipulation Russia is not using Tochka-U complexes After at least 39 Ukrainian civilians were killed at Kramatorsk railway station during an evacuation, Russian media and officials try to shift responsibility for the shelling onto the Ukrainian armed forces.

The main message is "Russia is not using Tochka-U." But in fact it is not. Despite the message that it has not been using "this type of weaponry" since 2022, Russia used Tochka-U during "exercises" with Belarusian troops just before the invasion of Ukraine in February. Also, IndormNapalm volunteers recorded that Russia had discounted its own Tochka-U complexes specifically for the invasion forces. Media expert Viktor Trehubov reminds us of this.

Fake More than half of the Ukrainian military use drugs.

Russian propaganda constantly promotes the message that the Ukrainian military seems to be using drugs. In the last 24 hours alone, Russian resources and telegram channels spread this fake story twice. For example, RIA FAN, owned by "Putin's cook" Prigozhin, posted a video of an unknown person, whom they call a former member of the "25th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade" who surrendered, named Dmitry. He says that he was offered to use "amphetamine," and saw that his commander was using it. At the same time, the RIA FAN story claims that 60% of "AFU fighters fight on drugs" and that they are allegedly delivered to military units by "Novaya Posta". There is no evidence of this - even the man in the video does not say this. Also, everything that the unknown man says in the video is a betrayal of an Apostrof article made public in 2018 - it also featured a "fighter of the Airborne Assault Brigade," but it was anonymous."

Disclosure Hackers attack computers with emails with the subject line "№1275 of 07.04.2022".

According to the Ukrainian government emergency response team CERT-UA, acting under the State Service of Special Communication and Information Security, hacker group Armageddon attacks state agencies of Ukraine with dangerous e-mails with the subject line "¹ 1275 of 07.04.2022". The emails contain an HTML file, which, when opened, creates an archive on the computer with a file called "On the facts of persecution and murder of Prosecutor's Office employees by the Russian military in the temporarily occupied territories.lnk". If opened, hackers can gain full control over the computer and steal confidential information or damage data and computer systems. Read more.

Fake Ukrainian military posing as a mannequin for the corpses of dead Ukrainians.

Another bottom of propaganda: the channel "Russia 1" decided to "debunk Ukrainian fakes" regarding the deaths of Ukrainians. The channel aired two people wrapping duct tape around a mannequin and stated that this was a fragment of "another production," in which the Ukrainian military seemed to be trying to pass off the "mannequin as a corpse. Russian actress Nadezhda Kolobaeva took it upon herself to refute this propaganda nonsense: she wrote that the video shown by Russia 1 was preparation for the shooting of a Russian film. She also posted a video from the set, where this mannequin is thrown from a crane for an episode about a man who falls out of a window onto a car.
