The fact-checkers of the NotaYenota project drew attention to the spread of messages. Reports of attacks on energy facilities and government officials' statements about problems with the power system after the attacks are used for advertising other Telegram channels from this network. The posts use the manipulative term "energy alarm" and write that you can follow this "alarm" by choosing the appropriate area. However, the link contains another Telegram channel from the same network, to view which you need to subscribe. There is no expected information about outages on the canals. "Detector Media" wrote about similar manipulative advertising to expand the audience of Telegram channels. In a week, the Russians destroyed 30% of Ukrainian power plants, so the load on the power grid increased significantly. Despite the restoration work, the authorities ask to be responsible for electricity consumption and, if possible, not to turn on energy-consuming appliances during "peak" hours.

We remind you that information about mass power outages or schedules should be sought on official resources, particularly on the website of Ukrenergo and notifications of local authorities. By spreading such messages, propagandists try to increase panic among Ukrainians and influence the work of the Ukrainian energy system from the inside. That is why the old fake about the need to turn off all electrical appliances at night and fake messages about emergency shutdowns began to spread again.
