Russian propagandists have fabricated a story about the “killing of civilians” in the Sumy region
Russian Telegram channels are spreading a screenshot of what is allegedly a Facebook post by the National Police of the Sumy region. The fake message claims that a conflict occurred in the village of Nyzy in Sumy district between soldiers and local residents, during which fighters of the 95th Separate Assault Brigade supposedly killed three people. This was reported by VoxCheck.
In reality, the post is completely fabricated. The National Police of the Sumy region did not publish any information about such an incident, and no such event took place. A review of the official pages and website of the Sumy Regional Police confirms that no such message exists. The police press service also debunked the fake, stressing that the post is a forgery and that the described events never happened.
