This thesis was spread by Russian President Volodymyr Putin, after which it was replicated by Russian propaganda media. Putin is convinced that Mariupol is an ancient Russian city. He also claims that the city was founded by Peter I and created his first military flotilla there. However, it is not so. In fact, in Russian historiography, Mariupol as a city in the Russian Empire was founded in 1778, already under Catherine II. Then the city was called Pavlovsk. However, this was preceded by the existence on this territory of the Kalmius settlement - the territory of the Zaporizhzhia Cossacks - with the settlement of Domakha with the Kalmius fortress as the center. The fact-checkers of The Insider project write about this. In 1778-1779, the Russian authorities evicted the Christian population from there to the Crimea and settled Russians there.

Such information is disseminated in social networks. The authors of the publications allegedly refer to a survey conducted for the German TV program ARD-Deutschland Trend. Russian media write that the Germans rebelled against the increase in military assistance to Ukraine. This is manipulation.

As StopFake writes, the German company Infratest Dimap really conducted a survey commissioned by the German TV program ARD-Deutschland Trend. Such surveys are carried out systematically. This time, 1,307 Germans with the right to vote expressed their opinion. The survey was conducted over the phone or online from 31 October to 2 November. The question on the supply of weapons to Ukraine sounded like this: “Russia invaded Ukraine at the end of February. Germany reacted to this with different steps. Please indicate below in each case whether they are appropriate, excessive or insufficient (…) regarding German arms support for Ukraine?”. That is, in this case, they estimated the number of weapons, and did not investigate issues of support.

A total of 41% of Germans consider the volume of military assistance sufficient, which is 2% more than in August this year. 30% of Germans consider excessive deliveries of weapons - this is 2% less compared to August. 21% called aid to Ukraine insufficient, which is also 2% less than two months ago. The remaining 8% probably found it difficult to answer.

Such accusations were voiced by the Russian Ministry of Defense and Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasylii Nebenzia, as well as written by Russian media and anonymous social media channels. It is not true.

UN spokesman Martin Griffiths confirmed that on the night of October 29, at the time of the attack, there were no ships in the humanitarian grain corridor. Russia accuses Ukraine of using a humanitarian corridor for drone attacks without providing any evidence. The Ukrainian side did not claim responsibility for the incident, although it did not unambiguously deny involvement in the attack.

On July 22, through the mediation of the UN and Turkey, Ukraine and Russia signed an agreement under which a safe maritime corridor was agreed between three Ukrainian ports and Turkish territorial waters. To control the implementation of the agreement, a Joint Coordination Center (JCC) was established in Istanbul, which, in turn, includes four groups of 8 inspectors. Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and the UN each provided two inspectors. Monitoring groups check all ships that enter Turkish waters along the corridor from Ukraine. Empty ships returned to Ukraine are also checked to prevent the transport of weapons or unauthorized goods to Ukraine by ships and the illegal transportation of people. On November 02, four days after withdrawing from the agreement, Russia rejoined the agreement.

Russia, long before the attack of the fleet in Sevastopol, was preparing to withdraw from the grain deal. The attempt to block the grain corridor is a part of Putin's plan for a new phase of the war to deplete Ukraine.

A screenshot of the alleged cover of the weekly Ananda Vikatan featured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for the first time on a pro-Russian telegram channel in English called Donbass Devushka. The picture was further spread by Georgian, Russian and pro-Russian English-speaking users on social networks.

In the picture Zelenskyi is trying to cover the black swastika with an orange one, decorated with dots, to hide the connection with Nazism. The words are attributed to him in translation in Tamil: “Well, what kind of Nazis are we? We are just fans of Indian culture!”. This cover is fake.

Analysts of the Myth Detector project found that the covers of Ananda Vitakan mostly featured local celebrities, and in 2022 there was no cartoon on the covers of the magazine, Zelenskyi and Sunak did not appear on any of the covers.

The release date on the fake cover is October 31st. But the magazine is weekly and its last two issues were from November 02 and October 26.

Each magazine has its own issue number and an inscription under the name of the magazine in Tamil "edition No. ... in Tamil", and on the fake cover it says "special edition".

With this fake, Russian propagandists are trying to convey to a foreign audience that Ukrainians are supposedly hidden Nazis. The so-called denazification in Russia was used as an excuse to attack Ukraine.

Pro-Russian telegram channels write about this. They say that the inhabitants of Kherson began to find leaflets from the Ukrainian army, practically corresponding to those scattered by the Nazis during the Second World War.

Such postcards are distributed on social networks to draw a parallel between the Ukrainian army and the liberation of cities from Russian occupiers and the German army and the occupation of the Soviet Union.

Russian media disseminated such information with reference to a fake letter allegedly from Health Minister Viktor Liashko to Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

They say that Ukraine was in dire need of donor blood, so it required it from NATO member countries. After the "canned blood" seemed to have arrived in Ukraine, they decided to selectively test it and found the causative agents of almost all possible infectious diseases.

The fact that the letter from the minister is fake is evidenced by its form; it does not meet the requirements for official documents in Ukraine.

The ministry said that during the entire period of the war, Ukraine has never turned to foreign partners for donated blood or its components.

Since the first day of the war, the Ukrainians have held the “donor front” securely on their own. If there is an urgent need in the blood centers, people actively respond to requests and close such needs within a few hours.

Ukraine does not conduct random checks of blood and its components. Any donated blood or its components always and without exception undergo laboratory tests.
