This thesis is spread by Russian propagandists. In their messages, they refer to the head of Rosatom, Lykhachov, who said that IAEA specialists understand who is really shelling the Zaporizhzhia NPP. They say that the experts of the organization who visited the Zaporizhzhia NPP know who exactly is shelling the plant, but the statements do not mention attacks on the Zaporizhzhia NPP allegedly by Ukrainians because of the political component.

In fact, the experts of the IAEA mission in the report do not mention shelling by Ukrainian troops because they do not consider Ukrainians to be guilty of the situation there. The Center for Counteracting Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council notes that the IAEA resolution, following the results of the mission at the Zaporizhzhia NPP, calls for “immediately stopping all actions against and in relation to the Zaporizhzhia NPP and any other nuclear facilities in Ukraine”.

The Ukrainian side has repeatedly recorded shelling from the Russian side. There is a proof of this, but there is no confirmation that the shelling came from Ukraine.

The SSU takes away documents from residents of eastern Ukraine so that they cannot leave their place of residence and become human shields for the Ukrainian military. This thesis Russian propagandists soar on Facebook and illustrate with a photograph with stacks of Ukrainian passports lying on the floor. However, this photo was published back in July and illustrates the opposite.

As analysts of the Myth Detector project write, for the first time this photo was published by the Agency for Strategic Communications and Information Security of the Ministry of Culture and Information Security of Ukraine on Twitter. According to their information, the photo shows Ukrainian passports in the city of Lysychansk which the Russians confiscated from locals in the temporarily occupied territories.

This manipulation was spread by the Russian media. Allegedly, the absence of the leader of the Russian Federation is regretted in London because he should have been invited to the farewell ceremony for the Queen, so this would help improve relations between Moscow and London.

In fact, the Russian media, according to StopFake, referred to a column in the Independent newspaper run by a pro-Russian author. And there is not a word in it about the fact that in the UK they “regret” that they did not invite Putin to the ceremony. She writes only that he should have been invited to improve relations between countries. There were no official reports of regret from London.

This message is spread by Russian propagandists. They say that the withdrawal of the Russian military from the territory of the station will allow Ukraine to bring its troops there and, under their weapons, implement repressions against the local population as well as take out spent nuclear fuel and from which create a nuclear bomb.

However, the Zaporizhzhia NPP occupies a leading place in the energy system of Ukraine, so control over it is needed not to create a bomb but to prevent a catastrophe. After all, the Russian military repeatedly shelled the territory of the ZNPP causing emergency conditions and disconnecting it from the power grid. Also, according to Enerhoatom, the plant personnel work in improper conditions, which increases the likelihood of an accident. In addition, control over the station will provide electricity to the entire south of the country.

Ukraine in the early 1990s voluntarily renounced its nuclear status (https://ms.detector.media/trendi/post/27933/2021-08-05-ukraina-mogla-zalyshyty-sobi-yadernu-zbroyu-i-shantazhuvaty-svit-pravda-chy-ni/.) The creation of a nuclear bomb is a lengthy and expensive process, and its beginning will spoil relations with Ukraine's partners among nuclear states. Ukraine is not a terrorist state, therefore it is not working on the creation of a nuclear bomb. Ukrainian officials have also commented on this more than once.

This message is spread by Russian officials who are quoted by pro-Russian telegram channels. According to them, the supply of missiles with a longer range than now is a critical border. Like, in this case Russia reserves the right to defend “its” territory.

This message is part of a larger Russian propaganda narrative that Russia is indeed at war not with Ukraine, but with the US, the EU or NATO. Propagandists are constantly trying to draw another side into the war and every time they create new red lines. Like, if a country gives Ukraine weapons, it can be considered a party to the conflict and guilty of the fact that the war is still ongoing. In fact, Russia is solely to blame for the war that continues in Ukraine, and the partner countries send weapons to Ukraine so that we can defend ourselves from the invaders and recapture the occupied territories.

Their translation says that in Europe they calculated gas reserves and understood, they say, the only hope is for the resumption of supplies from Russia. In fact, the article is devoted to the topic of economy and the translation of Russian media is manipulation.

In the article, the authors, with the help of an independent service, calculate how much Europe will have enough gas at the current level of consumption and with a decrease in consumption. If the current level of gas use continues, the article says, there will be enough reserves in the storage facilities until the end of winter. Therefore, the alternative policy is to reduce consumption in order to conserve inventory. The problem of this path may be the lack of a unified energy policy in the EU.
