Such information was disseminated in social networks, in particular, on telegram channels broadcasting pro-Kremlin rhetoric. Reports say that the Ministry of Health has issued a memo on radiation hazards. The document lists precautions and recommendations in the event of a radiation hazard in Khmelnytskyi and its environs.

Specialists of the Center for Countering Disinformation reviewed this case and found that the document does not exist. Fact-checkers turned to the Ministry of Health for a comment, where they were told that they did not create any recommendations on the radiation hazard in Khmelnytskyi. In addition, on the website of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine there are also no monuments with a mention of the radiation hazard in the Khmelnytskyi region.

In addition, the fact-checkers found out that photos with a fake attraction were distributed only in the Russian segment of social networks.

Let us remind you that this “memo” refers to a series of fakes about the so-called radiation hazard that was “approaching” on the territory of the Khmelnytskyi or Ternopil regions. Propagandists convinced that cities had leaked dangerous substances and radiation. Thus, the authors seek to destabilize the mood of Ukrainians and once again intimidate them with “nuclear bombings” by Russia. We recall that earlier analysts of Detector Media also investigated the case related to “nuclear weapons” in Ukraine. We analyzed the message where the propagandists claimed that the Ukrainian military was using banned weapons with a high content of uranium.
