According to the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security Council, as confirmation of their thesis, the Kremlin media cite the Financial Times article concerning the words of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Ihor Zhovkva. However, in this material, Zhovkva did not state that Ukraine refuses to join NATO. The text states that NATO should recognize Ukraine as a "cornerstone" of security arrangements on the European continent. Zhovkva also emphasized that the Alliance "rejected the aspirations" of Ukraine to join, and "we will not do anything else about it."

The Kremlin mass media spread information that allegedly, all residents of the Ukrainian city Lysychansk dream of the arrival of Russia and are looking forward to it. As StopFake writes, in their reports, the Kremlin mass media refer to the French channel "France 2" report from the combat zone in Lysychansk.

According to propagandists from RT and other pro-Kremlin resources, "most residents of Lysychansk are hostile to the Armed Forces and are waiting for the Russian army." However, this is manipulation. In fact, the TV channel "France 2" report, which Kremlin mass media referred to, was not about all the residents of Lysychansk but only about the majority of those who remained in the city with whom the journalists managed to communicate.n There were 100,000 residents in Lysychansk, and only 15,000 people stayed in the town, most of whom, according to the report's authors, was allegedly waiting for Russia's arrival. The rest of the residents evacuated to other settlements in Ukraine where there were no hostilities. More details.

The Russian media is spreading information that the General of the German Air Force, Ingo Gerhartz, allegedly said that NATO should prepare to use nuclear weapons on the territory of Ukraine.

"Speaking at the Seapowers international symposium in the city of Kiel, Gerhartz said that in the current hostilities in Nezalezhna, a situation may arise in which NATO would need a nuclear strike," Russian media reported. However, it is not true. As StopFake writes, General of the German Air Force Ingo Gerhartz did not say anything about the fact that NATO should prepare to use nuclear weapons on the territory of Ukraine. The military stressed that the Alliance needs to be ready to use nuclear weapons in response if Russia does so first. Ukraine was not discussed in Gerhartz's speech.

Kremlin propaganda media spread this information about the heroism of one of the Russian soldiers, sergeant Krasnov. It is reported that a Russian soldier killed 20 Ukrainian soldiers, and most importantly, he saved his comrades from a downed IFV. However, it is fake. The Security Service of Ukraine denied the information. "The only achievement of Krasnov is that he survived. The rest of his crew died immediately. It turned out that Krasnov did not destroy or save anyone. The SSU learned this from the sergeant's intercepted conversation with his relatives.

Russian media spread that "the British are tired of Ukrainian refugees and want to expel them." For example, now they are massively asking Ukrainians to look for other housing or leave. However, it is not true. As Melinda Simmons, the ambassador of Great Britain to Ukraine, told in an interview with Suspilne, now the number of British people willing to accept Ukrainians significantly exceeds the number of people seeking asylum in Britain. Currently, there are two protection programs for those who left Ukraine because of the war started by Russia. Under these programs, Britain has already issued more than 130,000 visas to Ukrainians. Ukrainians are hosted by British families registered in the program, and now program workers' main efforts are to find families with the most similar interests and needs to ensure a comfortable stay.

Russian propaganda media spread such information. Reports claim that refugees from Ukraine have been expelled from hotels in Riga since July 1. In such messages, propagandists refer to the statement of the mayor of Riga.

They said that from this day on, the authorities plan to terminate contracts with hotels for the free accommodation of Ukrainian refugees, so they will have to find a roof over their heads and pay for it on their own. However, it is manipulation. In fact, the Mayor of Riga, Martins Stakis, said that from July 1, there might be problems with the resettlement of refugees, but now the authorities are actively looking for ways to solve these problems. According to the mayor of Riga, the municipality provides part of the housing for refugees. Currently, about 2,080 Ukrainians are living in the city. Some of them were moved to more modest accommodation a few weeks ago. More details.
