Fake Ukrainian special services are preparing provocations in Dnipro.

According to the Security Service of Ukraine, Russian propaganda again began actively spreading disinformation about alleged "provocations by the Ukrainian special services. "This time the enemy threw nonsense into the information field that in the Dnieper "the SBU obliged the chief doctors of regional medical institutions to take the bodies of women and children who died from accidents and diseases to the Mechnikov Hospital. Like, that they were planned to be taken to one of the city's social facilities, where a Russian air raid would be simulated. As we can see, the cynicism of enemy propaganda is off the charts.There is no point in seriously commenting on another fiction, because the reason for such statements is obvious - Russia is trying to absolve itself of responsibility for war crimes reported in the department.

The SBU adds that it is the Russian military that regularly shells peaceful Ukrainian towns, kills civilians, rapes women in the occupied territories, takes children to "filtration camps" and tortures men.

Disclosure Russian hackers are sending out dangerous emails with the subject line "About a revenge action in Kherson!".

As reported by the government response team to computer emergency events in Ukraine CERT-UA, a grouping associated with the Russian Federal Security Service UAC-0010 (Armageddon ) carries out a new cyber attack As stated in the message, the hackers are sending dangerous emails with the theme "About the action of revenge in Kherson!", which contain attachments in the form of a file "Plan Kherson.htm".

If a person opens the file, a new file is created on the victim's computer - "Herson.rar" with the shortcut "Plan of approach and laying explosives on critical infrastructure facilities in Kherson.lnk". And as an end result, the GammaLoad.PS1v2 malware is downloaded. The UAC-0010 (Armageddon) hacker group is among those that have been actively attacking our country's critical information infrastructure since the beginning of Russia's full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. During cyber attacks, hackers use topics that are painful for Ukrainians. There have also been cases of cyber attacks by this group against EU countries," the State Security Service reported.

Fake Germany has begun the procedure for filtering Ukrainian refugees.

Information about this began to spread actively in social networks. Such messages spread a video in which a man states that Germany has finally started filtering refugees from Ukraine, and that now they will have to report all of their property. And if, for example, the value of the car will exceed 7,500 euros, in which case it will have to sell it and live on these funds, or the Ukrainians will face criminal liability for concealing information.

According to StopFake, the video has already garnered millions of views from both Meta and TikTok. However, such a claim is not true. According to StopFake, Germany does not do any filtering of Ukrainian refugees. "Still Germany accepts all refugees from Ukraine. Ukrainians do not have to apply for asylum, but they are given temporary protection, which includes all social benefits under Article 24 of the Residence Act. After registration with the authorities, this protection will be valid for one year and can be extended up to three years," the fact checkers wrote.Read more

Message The generals of the Ukrainian army have British and American passports and receive salaries from the governments of these countries.

The other day the propaganda publication "Komsomolskaya Pravda" published an article with the title "What is the secret of the Ukrainian army". In the text the author Sergey Markov allegedly tries to analyze why the Ukrainian army gives a decent fight to the Russian - "one of the strongest in the world". That is, the Russian propaganda already admits that the Ukrainian military is able to resist Russia and tries to look for various explanations for this "phenomenon". In particular, calling the Ukrainian army an amazing and very strong combination of a Russian soldier, a fascist officer and an American general and claiming that almost the entire leadership of the Ukrainian army during 8 years of war was trained by Americans. American, British passports, as well as individual salaries that they receive there," the author of the text claims.

In fact, Ukrainian generals do not have dual citizenship and do not work for the Pentagon. In particular, General Valery Zaluzhny, the commander-in-chief of the AFU, a Ukrainian military officer who studied and served in Ukraine specifically, was Commander of Troops of Operational Command "North" (2019-2021), Chief of the Joint Operational Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - First Deputy Commander of the Joint Forces (2018), Chief of Staff - First Deputy Commander of Troops of Operational Command "West" (2017). Commander of the 51st separate mechanized brigade (2009-2012). In addition, the Ukrainian army has servicemen from different cities and regions of Ukraine, and they communicate both in Ukrainian and Russian. There is no reason to claim that Russian is the main language in the Ukrainian army. Thus, by claiming that Ukrainian generals are people trained and paid by the U.S., Russia tries to justify the defeat of its troops, saying that the Ukrainian army is strong only because of this.

Fake Zelensky refused to use the letters V and Z in his name.

Fake that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky refused to use two letters in the Latin transliteration of his name is spreading on the network. As proof of this fact, they add a cover of TIME magazine, in which the letter M looks like horns over a picture of the president, which was placed on the cover. Such posts add that these "horns" must be pointing to something. In fact, as Project Maldita writes, TIME magazine did not publish an issue with such a cover, and the media's editorial staff denies that they issued such an issue.

"The cover also has a title, from which it allegedly becomes clear that Vladimir Zelenski refused to use the letters V and Z in his first and last name, and the media is allegedly looking for an alternative to these letters. This fake started spreading after Lithuania, Latvia and Moldova banned using the image of letter Z in public places, because Russians use it to mark their military equipment and it is used as an element of military propaganda", fact checkers write.

Disclosure Fraudsters are sending out a fake chatbot E-support.

According to the Center to Counteract Misinformation under the National Security and Defense Council, they spread a link to a fake bot online with the following text: "ATTENTION! The Center to Counteract Misinformation under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine clarifies in which areas, according to the government decision, IDPs can receive state support". According to the Center, at the end of the message adds a link to a simulated chatbot leading to a fake "PrivatBank" page.

"We inform you, in all of its messages about payments, the Center did not provide a link to any chatbot, emphasizing that payments will be made only through the app "Action". In turn Action" no Telegram bots "Epitrumka_bot", explain in the Center.

Disclosure The Kremlin is trying to minimize the presence of the U.S.

According to StopFake, Russian media on the day of the signing of the historic decision to provide large-scale U.S. economic aid to Ukraine under the "Lend-Lease," produced only a few dry publications. Slightly more was expressed by pro-Kremlin telegram channels.

"For Russian propaganda, the very fact that the Ukrainian Armed Forces received additional weapons is almost the biggest irritant. But the Kremlin does not want to talk much about the lend-lease for Ukraine. Many Russian media practically ignored this event on the day the law was signed. RBC, TASS, RT, and other propaganda media mentioned only formally, without revealing details, that Joe Biden had granted the lend-lease to Ukraine on May 9, and Vladimir Zelensky called this decision "historic." But some Russian information resources, apart from drawing historical parallels with 1941, still decided to remind their audience of the disastrous economic and even military consequences of this decision for Ukraine and its army," the fact checkers write. Earlier, Russian propaganda had already spread the idea that many future generations of Ukrainians would pay for the weapons the U.S. would bring to Ukraine under lend-lease. More details

Message The United States seeks to organize a holodomor in Ukraine.

This was stated by the Russian propaganda media, citing the words of the speaker of the State Duma of Russia Volodin. This is not the first time the politician has accused the United States of "wanting to organize a famine in Ukraine." He claims that the famine in Ukraine will come because of the US intentions to return all the grain stored in Ukraine to the world markets. He argues that "instead of real help, the U.S. only wants to take back what it needs.

First, in this way Russia again seeks to discredit Ukraine's allies in helping to wage war and supply arms. Russian propaganda benefits from spreading the thesis that the U.S. and other countries do not help Ukraine and Ukrainians in any way, but instead make things worse. Secondly, problems with grain and other food in Ukraine may arise not because of the U.S. and intentions to sell Ukrainian grain, but because of the war that Russia unleashed by destroying Ukrainian infrastructure and occupying cities. As a reminder, it recently became known, that Russian Kafirs are removing stolen food from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine on a large scale. Obviously, the food problem in Ukraine could arise as a result of the actions of the Russians, not the United States.
