It was reported on the page of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Facebook social network.

Letters from the Press Service of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to get in the e-mail boxes and messengers of the addressees. However, this spam mailing comes from addresses that have nothing to do with the Armed Forces of Ukraine and contain malicious files (viruses, trojans, etc.).

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine calls for caution. It is recommended to carefully read the e-mail address of the letter's sender and check its authenticity to prevent the infection of personal gadgets with malicious software. Previously, the Russians allegedly sent computer viruses on behalf of the SSU under the guise of instructions on acting in the conditions of an active phase of hostilities.

It isn't true. As the head of the joint press center of the Defense Forces "South" Nataliya Humenyuk explained, the fire on the Antonivskyi Bridge occurred during the curfew, so there were no civilians.

"The fact that civilians can't be on the bridge at this time is claimed even by the occupiers themselves because it is a curfew and stringent measures are taken against those who may violate it. There were no civilians there," Humenyuk stressed. Collaborators and occupiers who had changed into civilian clothes could have been injured in the attack on the bridge.

"They are trying to hide their affiliation with the military and create the image that the civilian population is being shelled. However, it isn't true," added the head of the press center. As you know, Russian propagandist and former employee of the RT channel Oleg Klokov died at the Antonivskiy crossing. He fled from Kherson to the left-bank part of the Kherson region and transported the stolen Gazelle car and other property on the TV channel "Suspilne Kherson." More details.

On October 21, Russian propagandists began spreading such information via Telegram. The reason was the interview of Oleksiy Danilov, secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), during the political talk show "Hovoryt Velykyy Lviv" on the "NTA" TV channel. He allegedly said that the Russian language should completely disappear in Ukraine. Propagandists promote the idea that it was the ban on the Russian language in Ukraine that caused the war. Now they will allegedly rewrite and ban all history, culture, and customs in South and East Ukraine. Instead, they will impose an ideology acceptable only in the West of Ukraine. Propagandists took Danilov's words out of context and misinterpreted them.

Danilov said: "The Russian language must disappear from our territory altogether as an element of hostile propaganda and brainwashing of our population... English is mandatory, and our native language is mandatory. And it is hazardous to plant these Russian narratives here."

It is not the first year that Russian propagandists have used the "language issue" and "discrimination against Russian speakers" to artificially incite enmity between Ukrainians and divide Ukrainians by place of residence.

Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale war in Ukraine, propagandists have regularly pushed the message that the Russian army is protecting Russian-speaking Ukrainians; otherwise, Ukrainians would be punished for communicating in Russian. Earlier, propagandists spread fakes that the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine plans to remove Russian literature from libraries. Propagandists also spread fakes that a woman was tied to a pole in Dnipro for speaking Russian.

This information was spread in October by pro-Russian media and propaganda telegram channels. As evidence, they cite a photograph of BBC correspondent Jeremy Bowen wearing a helmet and flak jacket with the words 'The Press' written on it and a microphone in his hands as he lies on the ground, with a mound and branches behind him. Propagandists assure that it was a staged video shoot because a woman with bags appears in the frame instead of fighting and shells.

In fact, this image is a screenshot from Jeremy Bowen's TV report on March 6, 2022. He talks about how residents of Irpen are evacuating from the war zone under massive shelling by Russian troops. In this video, you can see how the woman and other people in the frame were also forced to sit or lie on the ground after hearing a loud explosion nearby.

After propagandists spread the word that the BBC video was allegedly staged, journalist Jeremy Bowen categorically denied the allegations. "The allegations are completely fake, #fakenews. Insult me ​​if you want. However, don't insult the thousands of civilians running across the Irpin Bridge to Kyiv from Russian shelling and war crimes," the journalist wrote on his Twitter.

The purpose of such fakes is to cause distrust in foreign journalists who show Russian crimes to the whole world and thus try to show that the Russian occupiers allegedly do not shoot at civilians and do not pose a threat to Ukrainian cities and villages.

At the beginning of October, an anti-Ukrainian cartoon, allegedly filmed by an Israeli TV channel, began to be distributed on the network of Russian Telegram channels. The captions for the video were typical - "not all Israelis support the Nazi regime" in the east. The cartoon depicts Ukraine as a pig with swastika tattoos and a yellow-blue flag, while Russia is represented as a bear that throws out a pig in Europe. There the pig arranges pogroms and other crimes that Russian propaganda attributes to Ukrainian refugees.

At the end of the cartoon, the logo of what appeared to be the Israeli TV channel INN appeared. There are two channels in Israel. The abbreviation INN stands for both Arutz Sheva (Channel 7), which is officially called Israel International News, and Israel Now News. At the same time, the logo at the end of the cartoon is not the logo of any of these channels. Of course, there is no cartoon or any mention of it on these channels. The Israeli publication "Details" checked how this cartoon appeared in the Israeli media space and found a Telegram channel with the name INN and a logo identical to the one shown in the cartoon. This Telegram channel is conducted in two languages, Russian and Hebrew, and it contains only anti-Ukrainian fakes. The last of such fakes was information about Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who allegedly wrote the book "My Struggle." This fake has already been disproved.

After the distribution of this cartoon, it was blocked on Youtube. At the same time, a resident of Sochi named Yevgeniya gave an interview to the propaganda Telegram channel Shot. She said that she creates this anti-Ukrainian propaganda by herself. She also added that she has been "working on the information front since 2014." She has been posting these anti-Ukrainian videos since September 1 on her telegram channel "Svynka v ommoroke SVO." On October 20, she also published correspondence with the "Israeli TV channel INN," which apologized for using her cartoon and supported her fight against the "Ukrainian Nazis." The correspondence shows that the author of the cartoons wrote specifically to the address of the INN @uktoterror2 telegram channel. The channel has 1,339 subscribers and is run by a Russian-speaking Israeli woman who, for example, creates a poll about who to vote for in the upcoming Israel elections - among other politicians she suggests, Putin and Kadyrov.

In the Russian and Georgian segments of Facebook, a Tiktok video is being shared, in which a man dressed in a Ukrainian military uniform walks through the forest and portrays suffering on camera. In the posts accompanying this video, it is explained that this is apparently how Ukrainian propaganda works, which tries to convince Europe of the successes of the Armed Forces and the heroic struggle of the Ukrainian military by shooting staged videos. In fact, as the fact-checking project Mythdetector found out, the video is a fragment of the filming of a music video by Ukrainian singer Hanna Hanina. There is a real Ukrainian actor in the video, and his name is Petro Sherekin. He lives in Germany. The video shows that these are staged shots, but they don't try to pass them off as actual filming by the Ukrainian military or to use them for propaganda purposes. It is just filming the workflow while working on the song "Kolyskova" music video.

The Russian mass media publish news with headlines from which it follows that "Putin's ideas" are becoming increasingly popular in the West. Moreover, they cite Putin's words from September 30, in which he talked about the "breakdown of Western hegemony" and "the inadmissibility of the third sex."

In fact, as StopFake pointed out, the Russian news regarding the article in The Washington Post titled "Leaders of democracies increasingly follow Putin in gravitating toward authoritarianism." So the article, of course, is not about Putin's crazy ideas about the "third sex," which are becoming increasingly popular in the West. The article states that rapid changes, social stratification, and new technologies have made the world so complex that people look for simple answers. First, they listen to the opinions of right-wing populist, authoritarian leaders who pretend to be "strong and tough guys." The article mentions Donald Trump, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, among others. The analytical article points out that a new wave of right-wing populists came to power, taking advantage of the difficult economic situation which Putin himself arranged. Instead, it isn't about Putin's fabrications regarding historical "claims" and "geopolitical calculations."
