The Azov Regiment stated that it had nothing to do with this manifesto.“While someone is wasting their time, we are doing our best to save the lives of our people. We are fighting for the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. Yes, we will avenge the death of every fighter of the Azov Regiment, for the death of every patriot of Ukraine, but our revenge will be directed exclusively at the enemy, the terrorist country,” stated Azov.This is not the first time that Russian propaganda wants to push Azov and representatives of the Ukrainian authorities into conflict. Recently, the Russians spread a fake, allegedly Kyiv insisted on the placement of prisoners of war fighters of the Azov regiment in the pre-trial detention center in the village of Olenivka, Donetsk region, where about 50 Ukrainian defenders died as a result of an explosion, more than 70 were seriously injured.According to Russian propaganda, in this way, Kyiv wanted to remove the perpetrators of its crimes against its own people, and the blow to the pre-trial detention center was dealt after the prisoners began to testify.The so-called manifesto allegedly on behalf of "Azov" is a continuation of attempts to stir up discord within Ukraine.  

This was reported in the news on Russian TV channels. Allegedly, there were warehouses of foreign weapons at the airfield. This is not the first time Russians lie about their military “gains” and “victories”. In fact, this time Russian propagandists distorted the news about the rocket attack on Shepetivka, which took place on Ukraine's Independence Day. Critical infrastructure was hit, police said, and windows and doors in nearby homes and a school were blown off by the blast. As a result of the hit, 3 people were injured - a woman and two children.

Near Shepetivka in the village of Sudylkiv in Soviet times there was a military airfield. Historians in their writings recall that it was bombed during the Second World War. During the independence of Ukraine, the airfield did not function.

The presenter of the TV channel "Russia-1" Olha Skabeyeva, talking about the shelling, called Shepetivka Shchepetovka. Ukrainians in social networks created their answer to Skabeyeva for the airfield and for the perverted name of the city.

Pro-Kremlin media reported that the government of Ukraine has canceled a one-time assistance in the amount of 15 million hryvnias, now “you can forget about this money”, the Cabinet of Ministers will determine the amount of payment to the families of the deceased soldier during the Russian war against Ukraine. They say that officials made such a decision in order to “not go bankrupt”, because the Ukrainian army allegedly has “huge losses” - in the amount of “76 thousand dead” servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is not true.

The pro-Kremlin media distorted the changes in the law “On the social and legal protection of servicemen and members of their families.” Among the innovations of the law that came into force on August 25, one of the paragraphs refers to the issue of paying a lump sum in the event of the death of a military man during martial law. Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Hanna Maliar explained that a one-time payment to the families of the fallen heroes of the defenders of Ukraine remains in the amount of 15 million hryvnias. “On February 28, the government decided that the payment to the families of the dead defenders of Ukraine is 15 million hryvnias. Nobody cancels this decision and is not going to abolish it,” Maliar emphasized.

According to her, some of the people who submitted the necessary documents have already begun to receive one-time assistance from the state.

The fake pro-Kremlin media about the abolition of payments and about “76 thousand dead” defenders of Ukraine is aimed at undermining morale and discrediting the military-political leadership of the country. More details.

Such information is disseminated by Russian propaganda with reference to the results of social studies. Allegedly, 91-92% of respondents in Donbas want to become a part of Russia, and about 75-77% in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions as well. It seems that the decision to belong to Russia will be made by the inhabitants of the occupied territories, and Russia will "treat" it with respect.

Thus, Russia is trying to use the “referendum”, which it will try to hold in the occupied territories on September 11, in order to once again absolve itself of responsibility. All propaganda media present the situation as if the initiative to join Russia comes exclusively from local residents, and the Kremlin simply recognizes the right of the people to self-determination. People controlled by the army of another state seem to voluntarily wish to join this very state.
