Such information is disseminated in anonymous telegram channels broadcasting pro-Kremlin rhetoric. The authors of the messages refer to a story from the French TV channel CNews and write that in France, Ukrainian refugees are already being thrown out onto the streets to shelter illegal immigrants from Africa. However, this is fake.

Analysts from the Center for Countering Disinformation investigated that the story of the French TV channel was about a shelter in a school for migrants from Africa and was not about the eviction of Ukrainians. Previously, Ukrainian refugees actually lived in the school building, but by the time the migrants moved in, they had already left the shelter.

Thus, Russian propagandists are trying to create the illusion that Ukraine’s allies are tired of the war and no longer want to help Ukrainians. Earlier, Detector Media refuted the fake news that Ukrainian refugees are giving birth to children for sale.

This information is disseminated by users of the Russian segment of Facebook. Reports say that the Ukrainian Armed Forces appear to be stockpiling kamikaze UAVs and depleted uranium shells at the Khmelnytsk and Rivne nuclear power plants. It's fake.

The fact-checkers of the StopFake project analyzed this information. They managed to find out that on September 22, the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) distributed a report in which experts claim that there are no violations on the part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. But at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, temporarily occupied by the Russians, experts still noticed weapons.

Thus, Russian propagandists are trying to sow panic among Ukrainians and divert attention from the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Detector Media has already refuted the Russian fake that the West is carried away by Russia’s effectiveness on the battlefield.

Anonymous telegram channels broadcasting pro-Kremlin rhetoric are distributing a video where on his Instagram the bassist of the rock band System of a Down, Shavo Odadjian allegedly calls on Volodymyr Zelenskyi to stop drinking alcohol and drugs. It's fake.

The case was investigated by the fact-checker of the VoxCheck project. The video distributed by Russian propaganda shows the name of the Instagram account shavoodadjian. This page really belongs to Shavo Odadjian, but there is no such video on the musician’s Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. In the video message, Odadjian addresses a certain “Volodymyr”, but does not give his last name. Shavo Odadjian has an account on the Cameo website, where one can order videos from stars, most likely, Russian propaganda took advantage of this.

Also, at some point, the video message is interrupted and the inscription appears: “after watching this in rehabilitation, you will understand that your problems are nothing compared to what problems Thomas Bach and his dirty corrupt officials will have”, and below is a QR code. It leads to the channel in the Telegram OLYMPICS HAS FALLEN, which is promoting a series allegedly directed by Tom Cruise from Netflix about the scandals surrounding the International Olympic Committee and its leader Thomas Bach. There is no such series.

Russian propaganda systematically spreads fake news about Volodymyr Zelenskyi in order to discredit him. They say that the President of Ukraine is a drug and alcohol addict, so he makes decisions in a state of altered consciousness. Previously, we refuted the fakes that American boxer Mike Tyson and American actors Elijah Wood, Dean Norris and John McGinley, and actress Priscilla Presley called on Zelenskyi to seek treatment for alcohol and drug addiction.

Russian propagandists and pro-Kremlin telegram channels broadcasting pro-Kremlin rhetoric are disseminating information that Ukrposhta has issued a stamp depicting veteran of the Waffen SS Galicia division Yaroslav Hunko. It's fake.

The case was studied by fact-checkers of the Center for Strategic Communications. They established that the latest stamp announced by Ukrposhta is not with the image of Yaroslav Hunko, but with Challenger 2, Leopard 2, Patriot, CAESAR and M2 Bradley. This brand is called “Weapon of Victory. Peace with Ukraine” and it can already be ordered. The head of Ukrposhta, Ihor Smilianskyi, announced this on September 25.

Thus, Russian propagandists continue to promote the narrative that there is Nazism in Ukraine, which Russians are fighting against. This is how Russian propaganda try to discredit Ukrainians, reduce Western support and whiten Russia. Previously, Detector Media refuted the fake that in the Azov children's camp children read “Mein Kampf” by Adolf Hitler.

Pro-Kremlin media in English and Spanish are disseminating information that a Russian intelligence group allegedly destroyed a Leopard tank, which Germany transferred to Ukraine along with a crew of soldiers from the German Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces). This allegedly happened in the Zaporizhzhia direction. Russian propaganda add that the seriously wounded mechanic has repeatedly stated that he is a member of the Bundeswehr, and together with the crew they are part of a German army unit. It's fake.

The case was investigated by the fact-checker of the EUvsDiDiNFo project. The information disseminated by Russian propaganda contains no details — names and surnames, a clear time and place where the Russians destroyed the tank. Moreover, Germany's military support for Ukraine is limited to equipment and weapons, as well as assistance in training Ukrainian troops on German soil.

This fake is a continuation of the Russian narrative that Russia is fighting against NATO and Western countries in Ukraine. By inventing victories on the battlefield, Russian propaganda tries to raise the morale of Russians and justify Russia's difficulties on the battlefield. They say that the Russians are fighting with the German military, which is much more powerful than the Ukrainian army. Previously, we talked about the manipulation that Jens Stoltenberg allegedly confirmed that Russia invaded Ukraine “because of NATO”.
