Manipulation Ukraine faces a crisis and famine in the winter of 2022-2023

The Russian media are deepening the already well-known message by writing about the massive export of food from Ukraine and ironizing the increase in fuel prices, which, in their opinion, will inevitably lead to higher prices and shortages of food. The center of counteraction to misinformation has analyzed the volume of production and consumption of agricultural crops in Ukraine and concluded: the country is not threatened by hunger, but the shortage of vegetables, price increase and possible difficulties during the harvesting in July and August (the blocking of the ports can lead to the problem of grain storage). More details on the Facebook page of the Center for Counteracting Misinformation.

Fake Even the West does not believe Ukrainian propaganda about the loss of one-third of the Russian personnel

Social networks publish a screenshot of the Financial Times publication about Russian military losses in the war in Ukraine and draw attention to the phrase "The statements of the Ukrainian and Russian military cannot be independently verified. Allegedly, this explains that Ukrainian statements are considered false in the West as well. In fact, the statement about the loss of a third of the Russian army, in addition to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, was made by the British Defense Ministry, referring to its intelligence data. The Financial Times refers to the report of the British ministry. The mentioned phrase is rather used to emphasize the sides of the conflict, the Stop Fake checkers admitted the fact. Read more.

Message The real purpose of helping smaller countries to rebuild Ukraine is to "hype," to access successful cases and a scheme to make money

Anonymous telegram channels devalue the ability of small countries to help Ukraine. Using the example of the statement of the Estonian authorities about their assistance to Zhytomyr region, the propagandists ironize about the area of the country and describe the schemes of redistribution of funds to create funds, whose work will not be felt by an ordinary Ukrainian. We are also talking about a "scheme" under which, in return for assistance in reconstruction, Estonian companies will receive access to the resources and profitable economic cases of the region. Please note that the message is not based on a single fact, refers to an anonymous source, and probably aims to devalue the partnership with European countries in the eyes of Ukrainians and representatives of local authorities.
