The Russian media distorted the words of the interview of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, which he gave to the Spanish publication El Mundo.

When Dmytro Kuleba was asked "how to live without gas or gasoline," he answered that he was asking a counter question - "what about Europe's plans to transform into a "green" economy." His question hadn't answer.

At the same time, Europe has already found an alternative to Russian gas in other markets, which Kuleba also drew attention to in his interview. Kuleba noted that Kremlin lobbyists mostly promote the theme of the lack of alternatives to Russian gas.

Russian propaganda again used interviews of Ukrainian officials in foreign media to promote the narratives they needed: about the alleged futility of sanctions against Russia and Russian gas, which only cause damage and suffering to Europeans. Moreover, as Kremlin propaganda wants to show, Ukrainians allegedly don't appreciate such sacrifices. More details.

Russian media and anonymous Telegram channels actively reacted to the news that the air defense forces of Ukraine destroyed 44 missiles from more than 50 Russian missiles launched today in 10 regions of the country.

Allegedly, the Security Service of Ukraine will figure out all those who published photos or videos of the results of Russian missiles hitting infrastructure objects. It is because the actual destruction situation will allegedly become known, and the authorities won't be able to promote themselves on the high percentage of downed missiles.

Propagandists try to provoke Ukrainians to publish photos of "arrivals" on infrastructure quickly and thus help the Russian military. The Russians cast doubt on the success of the anti-aircraft defense, claiming that most of the missiles hit the target and destroyed the "intended objects."

The words of Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal are cited as proof that the rockets damaged 18 facilities, most of which are energy facilities. In fact, today, during the massive missile attack, the air defense forces showed one of the best results of their work since the beginning of the full-scale war; this is about an 80% success rate. Without the work of air defense, the consequences could have been much worse.

The propagandists know what results they wanted to achieve with today's attack. Their target isn't military facilities but critical civilian infrastructure, the damage of which will affect the entire population of Ukraine. Russians tried to ridicule air defense work because it prevented them from realizing their target. Thus, they create a shadow around the successful result of Ukraine in repelling the morning missile attack by Russia.

The Russian media spread this information. The Russians assured that the book was published in Barcelona, ​​the capital of Catalonia. This action also hints at Catalonia's desire to separate from Spain through referendums. It isn't true.

Stopfake analysts found that the Russians distributed a map from a sixth-grade geography textbook, not published in Spain, but by the Ministry of Public Education of Mexico and published in 2016. The original map shows that Ukraine is depicted within the boundaries of 1991. In Russia, an ordinary map was edited with the help of a photo editor for propaganda purposes. Russian propagandists try to convince that the EU allegedly recognized the territories temporarily occupied by Russia.

In fact, the EU didn't recognize the so-called referendum. In response to the annexation of the Kherson Region, Donetsk Region, Luhansk Region, and Zaporizhzhia Region EU introduced sanctions for its organization.

Russian resources have been actively spreading such messages in the past few days.

The propagandists use Ukrainian prisoners of war, who read a prepared text on camera under pressure to promote these theses. Allegedly, the Ukrainian army sees no point in fighting for the native land and is waiting for negotiations, that is, for surrender.

Propagandists repeat daily that Moscow is ready to start the negotiations. However, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has a hard line, so his participation is excluded from the negotiation process. Allegedly, as an option, the Kremlin can negotiate with the EU and the US without the participation of Ukraine.

The meeting may occur in the Emirates or Istanbul, where "conflict freezes and demarcation lines are agreed upon." Thus, the Russians want to devalue Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the president and Ukraine as an independent state. Earlier, propagandists spread the thesis that Volodymyr Zelenskyy was forbidden to conduct negotiations.

That is, Russia is supposedly at war not with Ukraine, but with NATO, where all decisions are made by the West and the USA instead of Ukraine. The Russians are trying in every possible way to incline Ukraine to negotiations. Since they are unable to do this on a diplomatic level, they will decide to put pressure on the population of Ukraine on an emotional level. They are provoking dissatisfaction with the authorities among Ukrainians to force Zelenskyy to start negotiations with Putin.

Nobody needs this war, it can be finished in a few days, and Zelenskyy is ready for negotiations with Russia. However, the dialogue will begin if and after Russia withdraws its troops from the territory of Ukraine and leaves Ukrainian land within the internationally recognized borders of 1991.

Such information is spreading on social networks. The rockets allegedly flew from Belarus. This information was denied by the head of the Volyn regional military administration, Yuriy Pogulayko.

Today, October 31, everything was calm in the region during the morning air alert. With such reports, Russian propagandists are trying to frighten the population.

Because today the Russians launched missile strikes almost all over Ukraine, it is essential not to panic, remain calm, and be in a shelter in case of an alarm.

Anonymous Telegram channels controlled by the FSB write about this. With this "provocation," they will allegedly try to strengthen the anti-Russian rhetoric that it is Russia that provokes hunger in developing countries.

Russia is a terrorist country that blackmails the world with hunger. It slowed down the grain corridor for weeks before blocking it, noted President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

According to him, Russia is the only one to blame because food products will become more expensive from West Africa to East Asia. Russia is the reason why people in Ethiopia, Yemen, and Somalia are left with catastrophic food shortages.

The Russian leadership is interested in exacerbating the food crisis, so it will do everything not to sign any agreements and not to unblock the grain corridor.

The fake about the sinking of one of the grain ships is probably a signal that the Russians already have such a plan. Propagandists work to preemptively shift responsibility for their crime onto someone else in advance.

Pro-Kremlin Telegram channels distributed a fragment of the video with this caption. In fact, Russian propagandists dispersed their crimes online. Ex-commander of the "Azov" regiment Maksym Zhorin published in a telegram a video from the mass grave, which he took from the phone of the Russian occupier.

"Look carefully at the executioners. It's clear to everyone that the Russian military carried out this execution of ordinary civilians in the occupied city. The full video is now with the investigation. Russian soldiers will be identified. There will be payback!" he wrote. Russian propagandists took from Zhorin's telegram those fragments of the video. It doesn't show who is killing people, but Russian propaganda spread it, as allegedly "Azovians" killed people in Kupyansk.

Shifting responsibility for one's war crimes is a typical tactic of Russian propaganda. After mass graves with hundreds of tortured people were discovered in Bucha, Izyum, and Lyman, liberated from the Russians, propagandists launch fakes as if it isn't their fault every time.

The Russians have recently used all sorts of methods to "prove" that the Ukrainian army during the counterattack is "clearing" areas of "civilians who lived under occupation." Thus, they also want to cause distrust in the Ukrainian military, particularly the "Azovs," who have long turned into neo-Nazi horror films in Russian fakes. They want to sow fear among people before the liberation of the occupied territory.

Russian and some Ukrainian media reported this regarding the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Oleksiy Reznikov, interview for Politico.

Russia allegedly understood that the Ukrainian authorities consider their country a "testing ground" for Western weapons, so they warned the world about the danger of using a "dirty bomb." In fact, in an interview, Reznikov talked about the prospects of supplying Ukraine with new weapons from allied countries. And also about the fact that the use of Western weapons by the Ukrainian Armed Forces helps push Russian troops out of Ukraine.

The minister called on the partners to test their weapons on the battlefield against the Russian occupiers and ensure the weapons' effectiveness in combat. "We have a combat test site in Ukraine during this war. I think all countries see how we use these systems. You are aware that we have eight different 155 mm artillery systems in use on the battlefield. So it's like a competition between systems," Reznikov said.

The Russian media took this quote out of context and spread a fake in the spirit of "turning Ukraine into a Western training ground" and a "colony of the collective West." Ukraine allegedly lost its independence while receiving military aid from international partners. Russia, having initiated a full-scale war against Ukraine, wants to destroy our country as a state and uses Ukrainian territory as a training ground for prohibited Russian weapons. More details.

This news was written by the Finnish publication Yle concerning an interview with the senior commissioner of the National Bureau of Investigation (Keskusrikospoliisi), Christer Algren.

The journalist claimed that the official was talking about the availability of data in the criminal police of Finland regarding the probability of weapons intended for the Ukrainian military getting to criminal groups in this country.

The material states that this firearm is already in Finland and was allegedly found in other Scandinavian countries. The Ministry of Internal Affairs believes that there is a reason to believe that the information presented in the article "was a little made up by the journalist and didn't coincide with the words of the police representative who was interviewed."

Moreover, representatives of law enforcement agencies from other countries confirmed the lack of information about a similar channel for illegally transferring weapons from Ukraine. The Finnish commissioner, in this interview, says that the investigation is ongoing and doesn't cite any evidence, only speculation.

However, based on his words, the publication spreads the Russian narrative that the weapons provided by international partners to the Ukrainian military end up with criminals in Europe.

Propagandists regularly throw such theses into social media to sow distrust in the Ukrainian army at the international level and reduce or even stop the support of Western partners.
