Manipulation The Armed Forces fired at the office of the UN mission in Sievierodonetsk

The Russian mass media spread the news that the Ukrainian military fired on the "UN mission" in Sievierodonetsk with HIMARS. It is manipulation.

According to StopFake, the UN mission hasn`t been working in the city for more than 7 months. The day after the shelling, it was reported in the headquarters of the General Staff that on September 30, the Armed Forces hit 6 command posts of the Russians.

Now it is not known what exactly is in the former building of the UN mission, but fact-checkers found a video in which military equipment of the occupiers is standing near the building in which the UN mission was located until March 2022.

This may be one of the confirmations that the command post was located in the building. Russian propagandists spread headlines about the "shelling of the office of the UN mission" to promote the message that the Ukrainian military shells civilian objects.
