Anonymous telegram channels broadcasting pro-Kremlin rhetoric distribute the cover of an ostensibly German edition of Eulenspiegel, which depicts Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi and Polish President Andrzej Duda and the text of the Volyn tragedy. It's fake.

The case was investigated by fact-checkers of the Center for Countering Disinformation. They determined that there was no issue with that cover, and that the barcode on the cover was from another issue.

Thus, Russian propaganda is trying to spoil relations between Poland and Ukraine and create the appearance that there is tension between the countries supporting each other. Earlier, Detector Media talked about the manipulation that Poland officially demands an apology from Ukraine because of the Volyn tragedy.

On August 15, Russian Defense Minister Serhii Shoihu spoke at the 11th Moscow Conference on International Security, where he stated that “one of the priority humanitarian tasks of a special military operation is the release of Russian servicemen from Ukrainian captivity”.

Special military operation (in Russian - SVO) is a term that has entered the dictionary of the Russian new language and is used to refer to Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine. That is, the war unleashed by the aggressor country Russia. To justify the crimes against the Ukrainian people, Russian propagandists have repeatedly noted that this “operation” is designed to save the Russian-speaking people who are experiencing oppression in Ukraine, to denazify Ukrainians.

The Russian military began to be captured in Ukraine after they had attacked the territory of our state and committed war crimes. Russian propaganda deliberately distorts the causes and consequences in order to divert attention from the real situation and the real motives of the war - the genocide of the Ukrainian people and the seizure of territories.

The Russian Defense Ministry said that on the night of August 14, they attacked Odesa “at the places of production and storage of unmanned boats of the Armed Forces of Ukraine”. It is not true.

The case was studied by the fact-checkers of the Center for Strategic Communications. The agency, headed by Serhii Shoihu, circulates similar phrases in reports of attacks on Odesa and the Odesa region, which have intensified since Russia's withdrawal from the “grain agreement”. In fact, the Russians did not fire at “places of production and storage of unmanned boats”, but a supermarket, a hostel, a gym for a local youth sports school, apartment buildings, pharmacies and cars.

Thus, Russian propaganda is trying to convince the whole world that the Russians are not shelling civilian targets, but only hitting military infrastructure. So they are trying to hide the genocide of Ukrainians. Earlier, we talked about the message that Ukrainian officials pass off military facilities as civilian ones.

Anonymous telegram channels broadcasting pro-Kremlin rhetoric spread information that a bar ostensibly for Satanists called “Khram” (Temple) has been opened in Kyiv. “In addition to outright smut, there is also an active propaganda of homosexuality in the institution”, the messages note. It's fake.

The owners of the Khram establishment, despite its name, insist that they have refused to use any religious symbols and are not trying to offend the feelings of believers. In an interview with The Village, they noted: “We have no religion, nationalities, orientations, types, races, subcultures, ages. Our temple is open to everyone who is close to our philosophy - that the world is one and one must live with hedonism”.

Russian propaganda also uses the term “homosexuality”, removed from the official list of mental disorders. Currently, attraction to the faces of its article is not considered a mental illness and it is correct to use the term “homosexuality”.

Probably, Russian propaganda drew attention to the interior features of the institution, which has stained glass windows, 4 bars, an organ and a design made in dark colors, which confirms its origin for Satanists. Detector Media visited the institution and found no traces of Satanism or homosexual propaganda there.

Thus, Russian propaganda fuels the narrative that all Ukrainians are Satanists and Russia is fighting a new satanic regime. And, they say, the Ukrainian authorities are destroying Orthodoxy. Earlier, Detector Media denied the fake that Ukrainian children were secretly taken to Turkey for the sake of British Satanists.

In the American segment of the social network X, formerly known as Twitter, a message with a photo is circulating that during excavations in Kharkiv near Hospital No. 6, corpses without organs, including babies, were found. The head of the All-Ukrainian Federation of Large Families, Tetiana Zakharova, allegedly believes that newborns could be sold to researchers or clinics that inject beauty with stem cells. It's fake.

The fact-checkers of the VoxCheck project investigated this case. A photo circulating on social media shows the exhumation of bodies from a mass grave in Liman in 2022. The material itself was written 14 years ago and is based on quotes from Graham Smith, Moscow correspondent for the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail.

Thus, Russian propaganda continues to promote the message that Ukraine is the world leader in “black transplantation”. They justify Russia's actions and accuse the Ukrainian authorities of crimes in order to discredit it and undermine Ukrainians' confidence in it. Earlier, we refuted the fake that Ukrainian battalions kill Ukrainian children and then export their organs under the grain export code.
