Such information was disseminated in social networks, in particular, on telegram channels broadcasting pro-Kremlin rhetoric. Reports say that after the last rocket attack, Kyryl Budanov was wounded. They assure that he is in a coma, although this is “hidden”. The authors refer to the German edition of Stern. It is not true.

The case was taken up by the fact-checkers of the VoxCheck project who determined that the German edition did not publish such news. This is just propaganda stuff. Meanwhile, Stern journalists also denied this information, as if they had reported on the health condition of Kyryl Budanov. They explained that this was part of Russian disinformation and propagandists used their publication as a “primary source” for no reason.

Let us remind you that this fake is part of a propaganda story about how Kyryl Budanov was allegedly “wounded” as a result of a Russian missile hitting the building of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine. Previously, the authors claimed that Budanov is being treated in Germany and the Ukrainian leadership is hiding this.
