Fake "Ukrainian nationalists" disrupted the evacuation of the civilian population from Sievierodonetsk

Social networks and Russian websites spread information that "Ukrainian militants disrupted the humanitarian corridor from the bomb shelters of the Azot chemical plant in Sievierodonetsk."

Russia said it would open a humanitarian corridor for civilians from Sievierodonetsk to the occupied territory on June 15, but only if the remaining Ukrainian military surrendered. Ukraine rejected this condition. Russia constantly disrupts the evacuation of the civilian population, either by offering impossible conditions to the Ukrainian side or by not stopping shelling during the declared evacuation.

Manipulation Ukrainian refugees in Riga will be kicked out on July 1

"News" under this title was published by Russian and Belarusian publications concerning the mayor of Riga, Martins Stakis. Allegedly, he stated that the hotels in the capital may soon stop accepting Ukrainian refugees for free and that on July 1, the agreement between the Latvian government and representatives of the hotel business may terminate. On June 15, Martins Stakis gave an interview to Latvian Television (LTV) and spoke about Ukrainian refugees.

He said the state should provide more compensation for hosting refugees in hotels. Otherwise, they will no longer provide these services, and refugees will have to find new accommodation.

Fake A demand was put forward to Ukraine for the country's accession to the EU

Dozens of Kremlin media write that "Ukraine is being demanded to stop glorifying Stepan Bandera for the sake of membership in the European Union."

As proof of this "requirement," Russia cites the thesis of Arno Klarsfeld, the lawyer of the Association of Sons and Daughters of Jews Deported from France, who voiced on the air of the French BFM TV about the need to rename Ukrainian streets named after Stepan Bandera. The exact figure once said that Russia and Ukraine should find a compromise regarding Donbas. We remind that the main requirements for Ukraine's accession to the EU remain reforms and compliance of Ukrainian legislation with European legislation.

Fake Ukrainian special services are filming stories about houses in Mykolaiv that were allegedly destroyed due to Russian shelling

More than 40 actors participated in the production filming, and all participants in the filming were paid 25 dollars each. Such lies are spread by the Ministry of Defense of Russia to hide the crimes of which the Russian military is guilty. Russian propagandists played out a similar scenario in April about the cruel atrocities in Buch, when the pro-Kremlin media wrote different versions, for example, that the Ukrainian military is apparently "disposing corpses in Buch" or that these are not corpses but actors, in the video and photos you can see that they are moving, smoke, etc.

On the morning of June 17, Russian troops hit Mykolaiv with rockets. The rocket attack damaged four residential high-rise buildings and an infrastructure facility. Two people died, and another 20 were injured, including a child.

On Saturday evening, the Russians again attacked Mykolaiv with Kalibr missiles. Two rockets hit a plastic window factory, another hit a residential building, and the next hit a sausage shop.

Message Russia promotes a "peaceful" plan to end the war through foreign media

A 15-point action list appeared in the National Interest magazine, immediately distributed by the Kremlin's propaganda media. The Center reported it for Combating Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.

Among the proposed:

- Ukraine, at the constitutional level, recognizes neutrality and renounces Crimea;

- Russia is withdrawing troops to positions on February 23, 2022;

- until September, a referendum on the state ownership of these territories is held in ORDLO;

- Ukraine breaks all ties with NATO, reduces the army, destroys heavy weapons;

- neither party pays reparations.

"This action plan is an element of an information and psychological operation, the main purpose of which is to create an impression of the strong positions of the Russian army on the battlefield against the background of the lack of real achievements at the front. According to the ECFR poll, the population of Western countries is convinced that it is Ukraine that should win the war," the Center for Combating Disinformation noted.
