Fake NATO was building a military base in Sievierodonetsk

Information that the Alliance was building an army base in one of the cities in eastern Ukraine was spread by Russian propaganda media.

The reports claim that the strengthening of the positions of the North Atlantic Alliance in Eastern Europe was supposed to happen "due to the construction of several military bases in Ukraine." In this way, the Russian media continue to promote the message of "NATO aggression against Russia." However, it is not true. As StopFake writes, there were no plans for the "construction of a NATO military base" in Sievierodonetsk in the plans of Ukraine or the member states of the Alliance. It was about constructing a new infrastructural facility for the military to meet the standards of NATO.
