Fake The West is "lying" about Russia's theft of Ukrainian grain

Russian authorities have called "American fake" evidence provided by Western partners of Russia's theft of Ukrainian grain. The Russian media published a "rebuttal" that the "collective West is deliberately spreading fakes" about Russian troops' theft of Ukrainian food. According to StopFake, many satellite images confirm Russia's theft of Ukrainian grain. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations also stated evidence of Russian theft of Ukrainian food.

Manipulation Kherson region has closed its borders with the territories controlled by Ukraine

It was reported by the Russian propaganda agency "Ria Novosti" concerning the appointment by the Russian military "Deputy Chairman of the Region" Kirill Stremousov. "Crossing the border from Mykolayiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions is very dangerous because of the systematic shelling of Ukrainian militants. After the latest shelling, they killed civilians in the buffer zone. Therefore, we do not recommend going to Ukraine under any circumstances, " Stremousov said.

Kherson has been under Russian occupation since early March. Kherson residents are offered to leave the region either to the annexed Crimea or to the part of the Zaporizhzhia region controlled by Russian troops.

After the invasion of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin and other Russian officials said his goal was not to occupy Ukrainian territory. However, Russian-controlled administrations were formed in Russian-occupied areas of southern Ukraine. Russian-controlled administrations were formed, whose leaders argued that the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions should be accepted into Russia. Recently, Putin signed a decree giving the right to simplified acquisition of Russian citizenship to residents of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine. And now, the Russian military has blocked exits to the territory controlled by Ukraine in the Kherson region, patrols in Kherson have been intensified, and the number of Russian block posts has increased, according to the operational command "South."

In an interview with RBC-Ukraine, Mayor Ihor Kolykhayev said that it was currently impossible to leave Kherson safely. Russian shelling prevents Kherson residents from leaving the temporarily occupied city for safer settlements. Many residents still dared to evacuate on their own and came under fire. Among them were both wounded and dead. The Russians continue to fire on civilian infrastructure in settlements along the administrative border of Mykolayiv and Kherson oblasts.

Earlier, the operational command "South" reported that the Russians set a fee for leaving the occupied Kherson region, at checkpoints offered a pass for $ 1,000 or their equivalent. However, then began to open fire on the trail insidiously. Thus, the Russian army is trying to keep the civilian population to "create for its leaders and commanders a picture of the satisfaction of the local population with the" Russian measure. "

Fake Salt has risen in price several times. The cost of it is artificially inflated in stores, and soon it will not be sold at all because sausage producers and canneries have bought all the salt

The Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine refutes the most common fakes about salt.

Salt stocks are there, and they will be on sale! Due to the shelling of the occupiers and the danger to workers' lives, the state enterprise Artemsil, located in Soledar, Donetsk region, stopped salt production in April. But in large chain supermarkets, there is a salt stock of several thousand tons.

Salt has not risen in price due to high demand, and the "opportunity to earn" in retail stores and markets artificially inflates the price of salt. But it is the massive purchase of salt in large quantities leads to shortages and further price increases!

Sausage and smoked producers use imported specially prepared salt. In addition to their salt stocks in warehouses, large producers have concluded additional agreements on salt supply from abroad.

Manipulation Biden and Zelensky will be remembered as presidents who staged a famine on the planet

Russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin has once again criticized anti-Russian sanctions and said the famine could result in many countries. In his opinion, the presidents of Ukraine and the United States, Volodymyr Zelensky, and Joseph Biden, should be aware of the consequences in Ukraine. Otherwise, they may go down in history as presidents who staged a famine on the planet. As in many regions of Ukraine, spring field works were not carried out thoroughly. The European Union has banned the supply of Russian and Belarusian fertilizers, and sanctions against Russia have hit countries that have previously had food problems and provoked rising grain prices in all countries, including Europe. And, of course, "Russia has nothing to do with it." This "no" Russia started a war against Ukraine, "no" Russia blocked Ukrainian ports, leaving more than 20 million tons of grain in storage. And, of course, "no" to Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to unblock Ukrainian ports for food exports if the West lifts sanctions against Russia. No Russian media outlet supplemented the speaker's statement with truthful information. Leaders of many countries have repeatedly stated that Russia has gone down in history as a country through which 400 million people on the planet cannot receive grain from Ukrainian farmers. Ukraine fed exactly so many people before the war.

Fake The "Mriya" plane destroyed by the Russian troops was taken for disposal - "for scrap metal"

The source of this "news" was the site "Strana.ua," which repeatedly spreads fakes and narratives of Russian propaganda. She was picked up by several Russian and Ukrainian media. The video from the news shows parts of the plane being pulled out of the hangar. Allegations about the disposal of "Mriya" were refuted by the state enterprise "Antonov" and called unreliable.

"We emphasize that Antonov closely cooperates with law enforcement and investigative bodies of Ukraine to gather evidence of crimes committed by the Russian occupiers.

The video, which served as the basis for disseminating this inaccurate information, was filmed in a "pirated" way and distributed without the consent of Antonov and the relevant government agencies, " the statement said.

The world's largest An-225 aircraft, the “Mriya,” was destroyed by Russian troops in the first days of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 27. The airport in Gostomel, where the plane was based, was one of the first to be hit by the Russians. Aviation experts believe that the aircraft was explicitly destroyed to prevent its recovery.

The National Police of Ukraine conducts a series of examinations on the consequences of destroying the “Mriya.” The 360war.in.ua volunteer project, which shows the effects of the war in Ukraine, has created a virtual tour of the wrecked plane and airport in Gostomel.

Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine should build a new “Mriya” plane and dedicate it to the memory of the pilots killed in the war.

Fake "Militants of national battalions" are preparing a provocation in Sumy using poisonous substances

It is alleged that the Russian Ministry of Defense received such information from captured Ukrainian soldiers. The report used a standard set of Russian propaganda: "Neo-Nazi" plan to fire on Russia's border area from a residential area of ​​the city, provoke a retaliatory strike, and then blow up containers with chemically hazardous substances. Journalists of foreign news agencies are in Sumy for photo and video shooting. And, of course, the goal is to accuse the Russian military of allegedly using chemical weapons and striking civilians who are not being evacuated but left in the city for "maximum resonance."

Such nonsensical Russians are throwing into the media to either intimidate people in the region where they announce the provocation or plan to commit a war crime and absolve themselves of responsibility.

The Security Service of Ukraine reminds us that the Russian military regularly shells peaceful Ukrainian cities, kills civilians, uses them as a "living shield," rapes women in the occupied territories, takes children to "filtration camps," and tortures men.

Fake Sievierodonetsk in the Luhansk region is under the control of the Russian military

Chechen fighters are clearing the city.

It was announced on the night of May 29 by the Kremlin-controlled head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov. In fact, he gives out the desire for reality.

On the morning of May 29, the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration, Serhiy Haidai, emphasized that the enemy had no success in Sievierodonetsk. He confirmed that the Russians managed to gain a foothold in the Hotel “Myr” in the city's suburb. "They stay there and lose; they can't move further. Our people are constantly kicking them out of the hotel, " Haidai said. And those Kadyrovites who shoot videos for social networks, as if they were with their flag in the Russian-controlled Sievierodonetsk, Haidai advised to go to the city center and shoot the video there. "I hope this will be your last video," said the head of the Luhansk Regional Military Administration.

Haidai said that Ukrainian defenders drove the Russians out of Toshkivka and secured it. "There are reinforcements. In the direction of Popasna near Komyshuvakha, the enemy was pushed back by 2 kilometers, and the Lysychansk-Bakhmut route is now less shot. Humanitarian cargoes are moving.
