Propagandist Telegram channels are spreading claims that near Odesa, “members of the underground resistance” allegedly carried out sabotage by derailing a train carrying Western military aid and fuel. As “evidence”, these posts include a photo supposedly taken at the scene. This fake was debunked by VoxCheck experts.

In reality, propagandists used a photograph of an accident that occurred on Russian territory.

The spread of such fakes about the alleged activities of an “underground resistance” in Ukraine is part of a persistent Kremlin disinformation campaign. Its aim is to create the illusion of internal division, distrust, and panic among the Ukrainian population, and to form a false impression that a significant portion of Ukrainians support Russia, are waiting for “liberation”, and are assisting it – thereby supposedly legitimizing the war against Ukraine.
