Disclosure Russians are invited for $24 to act in the Donbas as local witnesses to the "atrocities of the damned Ukrainian fascists"

In Saint Petersburg, a vacancy for an actor for mass shooting in the previously occupied territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions was advertised. As StratCom of the ZSU writes in a telegram, this is how they recruit "local witnesses to the atrocities of the damned Ukrainian fascists." Payment for filming - 1,300 rubles (almost $24), travel to the so-called "DPR" and "LPR," "we will shoot there."

Fake "Nationalists" raped women at the "Azot" plant in Sievierodonetsk

Russian mass media, referring to the so-called people's police of the so-called "LPR," are spreading information that allegedly fighters of the nationalist "Aidar" battalion (banned in Russia) regularly raped women who were held hostage at the "Azot" plant in Sievierodonetsk. According to their version, dozens of women were injured; now, they are safe, receiving medical and psychological help from specialists. The media do not provide evidence; they only spread a loud statement about the crime.

On June 18, the head of the Luhansk RMA, Serhii Gaidai, reported that the people hiding in the shelters of the "Azot" plant in Sievierodonetsk refused to evacuate. During the communication with the population, the National Guardsmen recorded the refusal on video. Previously, the Russian media distributed video recordings of interviews with women who escaped from the "Azot" bomb shelter, where they talked exclusively about foreign mercenaries. In fact, the world has already learned more than once about the sexual crimes of the Russian military in Ukraine.

Rape has become a characteristic feature of the Russian occupiers, says the adviser to the head of the President's Office, Oleksiy Arestovych. We will remind that after the liberation of Bucha near Kyiv from the Russian occupiers, it became known about dozens of cases of sexual violence committed by Russians. Former Human Rights Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Lyudmila Denisova, reported that in Bucha, Russians systematically raped 25 girls and women aged 14 to 24, nine of whom were pregnant. More details.

Fake Ukrainian propaganda is trying to pass off residential buildings as targets of rocket attacks in Kyiv

On the pro-Kremlin channels in Telegram, they are spreading rumors about the explosions in Kyiv. According to the Ukraina.ru channel, one of the targets in Kyiv was the Artem plant, which produces missile weapons. Ukrainian propagandists "are trying to pretend" that residential buildings are the targets of rocket attacks. Kremlin propagandist Volodymyr Solovyov spread information in a Telegram that the Russian Kalibr missiles "remind Ukrainians that bombing Donetsk is bad."

We remind that on the morning of Sunday, June 26, several explosions were heard in Kyiv. According to Kyiv Mayor Volodymyr Klychko, search and rescue operations are ongoing in the residential high-rise building in the Shevchenkiv district where the rockets hit. There are people under the rubble; rescuers found a seven-year-old girl. She is alive. Now they are saving her mother. Some residents were evacuated, and two victims were hospitalized. Adviser to the Ministry of Internal Affairs head, Anton Gerashchenko, said that at least one person had died.

Fake Russia captured French self-propelled artillery installations and Caesar's self-propelled artillery in Ukraine

It was stated by the French politician Regis Castello in Telegram and the Russian plant "Uralvagonzavod," which in the comments asked to convey "thanks to President Macron." The Russian mass media spread these comments. The General Staff of the French Armed Forces called this information fake. "This information is false. We categorically reject it. We discussed this with our Ukrainian partner," the General Staff said.

As reported in the Strategic Communications Department of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the source of information about the capture of the SPA was named as a little-known French politician (probably a member of the Communist Party of France, an opponent of the current president of this country) Regis Castello.

He does not provide any confirmation or evidence but only refers to a comment on his Telegram channel, which representatives of the Russian plant allegedly left.

"This is proof that the supply of weapons to Ukraine is a strong blow to our enemy, and he is trying to sow distrust in the Armed Forces among the French and create the impression that it is useless to send weapons to our country," the message emphasizes.

Fake Now the new weapon will be used only for videos, that is there and somewhere shooting in the fields; it will not be delivered to the front line

Anonymous pro-Kremlin Telegram channels spread such rumors. The Western partners demand that Ukraine not transfer their weapons to the front, but this does not apply to the Western decommissioned, old Soviet equipment that is transferred.

They announced this demand behind the scenes after the information that the Russians had captured the French Caesar's self-propelled guns. The report does not provide any proof; it is written that there are "rumors" about it. Recently, Russian propaganda often turned to foreign weapons in Ukraine. If earlier Vladimir Putin repeatedly said only that the West and the USA had "stuffed" Ukraine with weapons, then later the Russians launched a series of accusations: the "black market" of weapons flourishes in Ukraine, while foreign weapons "are by no means suitable for a major land war" and is not designed for intensive long-term work, and even more so for frequent long marches on broken roads and off-road. So, the Ukrainian military leaves weapons depots when withdrawing from positions.

This news should be read "between the lines" and understand that the Russian army is waiting with horror for foreign weapons to arrive at the Armed Forces of Ukraine; they are afraid of them and try in every way to sow discord so that Western partners and volunteers doubt the feasibility of helping Ukraine.
