This message is spread by Russian propaganda and anonymous telegram channels, in particular, the Redovka telegram channel, which refers to the words of propagandist and speaker of the State Duma Viacheslav Volodin. The report says that since 2014, Ukraine allegedly gradually lost its sovereignty. In addition, according to the authors, it also lost the favor of the people. Like, because the authorities could not care less about their people.

In fact, Ukraine is and remains a sovereign state. The entire civilized world has not recognized the illegal annexation of Ukrainian Crimea by Russia. And now, against the backdrop of a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, we remain allies of the West and we are actively supported by international partners: by supplying weapons, by diplomatic partnership, or, for example, by granting candidate status to the EU. In addition, the world does not recognize the latest pseudo-referendums and the creation of "people's republics".

With this message, propagandists are trying to undermine the authority of Ukraine and nourish the narrative that Ukraine is a failed country ruled by the West.

This message is spread by Russian propaganda and anonymous telegram channels, in particular, the telegram channel of the Russian propagandist "SOLOVIEV". The reports say that the territories of the Kharkiv region are allegedly captured by NATO troops. Like, the Ukrainian army dooms foreigners to inevitable death.

In fact, NATO troops do not take part in the war that Russia unleashed against Ukraine. “In response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine” NATO states that its actions are defensive, aimed not at provoking a conflict, but at preventing it. The Alliance is responsible for ensuring that this war does not unfold and spread beyond the borders of Ukraine. This means that NATO member countries prevent the expansion of the borders of the war by protecting their territories and providing the necessary weapons to Ukraine.

It is for this reason that NATO troops cannot participate in the war.

Propagandists spread such a message to justify their defeats at the front. Allegedly, Russia is fighting against the collective West. Russia has repeatedly tried to discredit the Alliance: it claimed that the military is weak and incompetent, calls NATO an LGBT organization, and so on.

In connection with an unsuccessful attempt to withdraw from the grain deal, Russia is urgently throwing several contradictory theses into the information space in order to confuse the audience and prevent them from asking a rational question: why, when Russia "withdrew" from the agreement, ships with Ukrainian grain continued to leave ports and deliver it to other countries?

In fact, after Ukraine, the UN and Turkey "informed Russia" that they would extend the agreement, despite Russian statements, the weakness of Russia's position was demonstrated to the whole world. It cannot blockade Ukrainian ports, it cannot destroy Turkish ships, and it cannot blackmail Ukraine again because of successes at the front, since now Russia is losing. Therefore, Russia was simply forced to "return" to the agreement and its propaganda had to somehow explain it to the audience.

The explanations are as follows: Ukraine gave written guarantees that it would not use the humanitarian corridor for military operations. But this is not true: Ukraine did not give additional guarantees. She gave them first and carried them out. But now Russian propaganda is forced to explain that "additional guarantees have been provided, but Russia still does not believe in any guarantees from Ukraine". And therefore reserves the right to "withdraw" from the agreement again, whenever it pleases.

The second explanation is that Russia has returned to fulfilling its obligations in order to prevent the West from "manipulating" that Russia provokes famine in the poorer countries of Asia and Africa, and thus win over the "global South". And to show that Russia is a stable and reliable partner”. And that is despite the fact that in the last 8 months Russia massively violated contracts, agreements, promises and even guarantees. It is unlikely that the reputation of a terrorist and an aggressor can be corrected by poor compliance with a single agreement.

Such a strategy looks especially disastrous against the backdrop of numerous statements by Russian officials who on November 1 stated that Russia's return to the grain agreement on the previous terms was never possible, and the next day the agreement started working again according to the same rules.

The message is spread by the Russian media with reference to the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Mariia Zakharova. According to her, Russia always maintains a dialogue with everyone, even in the most difficult situations. Like, Russia is ready to wait for peace talks with Ukraine and this is its “good will”.

As the Center for Counteracting Disinformation notes, statements on the negotiations are heard at the highest level, but Russia insists that they should take place exclusively on their own terms.

Thus, Russia is trying to convince the Western audience that it is Ukraine that does not want to end the war. Also, under the pretext of the negotiation process, Russia plans to suspend hostilities in order to build up military potential and continue the occupation of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian authorities have announced the only condition for possible negotiations with Russia - this is the immediate cessation of the war against Ukraine and the withdrawal of Russian troops from the border of Ukrainian territories in 1991.

Previously, propagandists convinced that no one needed a war, that it was necessary to negotiate. Allegedly, Ukraine has unleashed a war with Russia and refuses any negotiations, moreover, Zelenskyi was forbidden to negotiate.

Anonymous GRU-controlled telegram channels are spreading an article by the Italian publication Il Messaggero to prove that Western Europe is gradually withdrawing support for Ukraine and cutting off the supply of weapons. In fact, the article is titled “Rome freezes order for new weapons for Kyiv. But the support of Ukraine remains”, it is not said that Italy refuses to supply weapons to Ukraine. But only that Italy is waiting for the visit of NATO leader Jens Stoltenberg to coordinate plans for the supply of weapons to Ukraine. The visit of the head of NATO will take place in the coming days. In addition, the article says that the air defense systems requested by President Zelenskyi are few in Italy, and therefore the delivery of these systems is being postponed for the time being. Russian telegram channels insist that the "supply of weapons" is stopped because they are allegedly smuggled into the EU and the Middle East, where they fall into the hands of criminals. All of them have recently referred to an article in a Finnish publication, which claimed that law enforcement officers from several Scandinavian countries found weapons from Ukraine in local gangs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine requested such data from law enforcement officers in Finland - and they did not find any evidence of what was said in the article. Russia has been trying to discredit Ukraine in order to reduce the number of weapons provided by partner countries from the first days of the war. To do this, it systematically invents fakes and manipulates.

Such a message is distributed in Telegram channels. Like, Articles 106 and 107 of the UN Charter allowed Russia to attack Ukraine. Allegedly, these articles give the "victors" of World War II the right to take action against "hostile countries". To do this, they need to communicate their plans to other "winners", but it is not necessary to obtain their consent.

The German fact-checkers of the Correctiv project drew attention to the spread of the message. They note that the UN Charter allows the use of weapons only in case of defense or with the consent of the Security Council. Telegram channels distorted the content of the UN Charter. Articles 106 and 107 state that the parties to the Declaration must cooperate in the preservation of peace and on measures taken in "hostile countries''. However, "parties" refers to those countries that signed the founding document, and not just the "winning countries". Also, the UN Committee back in 1995 proposed to exclude the so-called “hostile state” provisions from the charter since they are outdated. Now there are no hostile states in the meaning that was laid down after the Second World War, in particular, Germany and Japan are members of the UN.

Russia constantly manipulates the historical context and victory in World War II, forgetting about the contribution of other states. Russian propaganda also systematically accuses Ukraine and other states of Nazism. Previously, Russia tried to justify the invasion of Ukraine under the guise of Article 51 of the UN Charter.

Russian media write about this with reference to Volodymyr Putin. At a press conference, the Russian president said that the massive strikes against Ukraine's civilian infrastructure on the morning of October 31 are "partially" Russia's response, and allegedly "this is not all they can do". Also, according to Putin, Ukraine allegedly created a danger to civilian ships by its actions, using the "grain corridor" for the operation.

UN Deputy Secretary General Martin Griffiths during the UN Security Council on Monday, October 31, said that on the night of October 29, when there was supposedly an attack on Russian warships, there was not a single ship in the “grain corridor”, and not a single ship reported about the weekend incident, the UN spokesman stressed that the corridor as such is “just lines on a map” and when no vessels involved in grain exports are moving along it, it has no special status and is not a “shelter” or “shield” for any military actions. Advisor to the head of the President's Office Mykhailo Podoliak said that Ukraine had nothing to do with the explosions in the temporarily occupied Sevastopol and did not use any underwater or surface drones, except for those used on the front line.

The message that Russia is attacking critical infrastructure “in response” began to be promoted after massive shelling on October 10th. Then it was allegedly a revenge for the attack on the Crimean bridge, the responsibility for which Ukraine did not recognize.

Russian media are quoting Volodymyr Putin and calling Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine a "civil war." According to Russian "experts", Russia's attack on Ukraine is not a foreign intervention, but a "civil battle between two parts of the Russian people".

This message has been promoted since 2014. Thus, earlier they tried to hide the presence of Russian troops on the east side of Ukraine. Now propagandists continue to deny the aggressive policy of Russia against the Ukrainian people. Propagandists use the tactics of substitution of concepts and call the occupation of Ukrainian territories the theses of “reunification of Crimea with Russia”, “civil war in Donbas”. To replace the concept of war, the "special military operation" phrase is used.

There is no “brotherly” and “single Russian people”, this is a Russian myth. According to StopFake, after the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine became the only state that approved its independence by popular vote. The All-Ukrainian referendum on the independence of Ukraine was held on December 1, 1991. The Ukrainian people confirmed their desire to live in a free state - 90.32% of the referendum participants voted for the independence of Ukraine. The turnout in the referendum was 84.18% of the population of Ukraine. After the All-Ukrainian referendum, the worldwide process of recognizing Ukraine as an independent state began - in particular, Russia recognized the independence of Ukraine on December 5, 1991.

By showing aggression towards Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, Russia continues to violate international law and a number of international agreements in the field of security, in particular, fundamental treaties guaranteeing the sovereign equality and territorial integrity of states, as well as the rules of law governing the basic principles of warfare.

Russian media and anonymous Telegram channels actively reacted to the news that the air defense forces of Ukraine destroyed 44 missiles from more than 50 Russian missiles launched today in 10 regions of the country.

Allegedly, the Security Service of Ukraine will figure out all those who published photos or videos of the results of Russian missiles hitting infrastructure objects. It is because the actual destruction situation will allegedly become known, and the authorities won't be able to promote themselves on the high percentage of downed missiles.

Propagandists try to provoke Ukrainians to publish photos of "arrivals" on infrastructure quickly and thus help the Russian military. The Russians cast doubt on the success of the anti-aircraft defense, claiming that most of the missiles hit the target and destroyed the "intended objects."

The words of Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal are cited as proof that the rockets damaged 18 facilities, most of which are energy facilities. In fact, today, during the massive missile attack, the air defense forces showed one of the best results of their work since the beginning of the full-scale war; this is about an 80% success rate. Without the work of air defense, the consequences could have been much worse.

The propagandists know what results they wanted to achieve with today's attack. Their target isn't military facilities but critical civilian infrastructure, the damage of which will affect the entire population of Ukraine. Russians tried to ridicule air defense work because it prevented them from realizing their target. Thus, they create a shadow around the successful result of Ukraine in repelling the morning missile attack by Russia.

Russian resources have been actively spreading such messages in the past few days.

The propagandists use Ukrainian prisoners of war, who read a prepared text on camera under pressure to promote these theses. Allegedly, the Ukrainian army sees no point in fighting for the native land and is waiting for negotiations, that is, for surrender.

Propagandists repeat daily that Moscow is ready to start the negotiations. However, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has a hard line, so his participation is excluded from the negotiation process. Allegedly, as an option, the Kremlin can negotiate with the EU and the US without the participation of Ukraine.

The meeting may occur in the Emirates or Istanbul, where "conflict freezes and demarcation lines are agreed upon." Thus, the Russians want to devalue Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the president and Ukraine as an independent state. Earlier, propagandists spread the thesis that Volodymyr Zelenskyy was forbidden to conduct negotiations.

That is, Russia is supposedly at war not with Ukraine, but with NATO, where all decisions are made by the West and the USA instead of Ukraine. The Russians are trying in every possible way to incline Ukraine to negotiations. Since they are unable to do this on a diplomatic level, they will decide to put pressure on the population of Ukraine on an emotional level. They are provoking dissatisfaction with the authorities among Ukrainians to force Zelenskyy to start negotiations with Putin.

Nobody needs this war, it can be finished in a few days, and Zelenskyy is ready for negotiations with Russia. However, the dialogue will begin if and after Russia withdraws its troops from the territory of Ukraine and leaves Ukrainian land within the internationally recognized borders of 1991.

After Saturday's "attack against ships of the Black Sea Fleet" in Sevastopol, Russian resources spread several messages. Russia is allegedly withdrawing from the "grain agreement" due to "an attack against ships of the Black Sea Fleet involved in guaranteeing the safety of vessels delivering Ukrainian grain within the so-called Black Sea Initiative." Because of this, on October 31, Russia will initiate a meeting of the UN Security Council. A ship is a combat unit of a fleet that is a legitimate target in wartime. The Kremlin claims the attack was on ships, not civilian sea transport vessels.

The humanitarian corridor for grain export from Ukraine was allegedly used to cover the attack on the Sevastopol raid. The Ministry of Defense of Russia stated that this attack was a terrorist attack by Kyiv with the participation of specialists from Great Britain. There is no evidence for this. Ukraine has not claimed responsibility for this attack.

The South's defense forces assume that the explosions in occupied Sevastopol could have been caused by the Russian invaders' failed launches of air defense missiles. Propagandists assure Kyiv's fault that Europeans will be left without grain because it was not delivered to Africa. As you know, 72% of wheat went to Africa, Asia, and Turkey in two months. In fact, before this "attack," Russia threatened to withdraw from the "grain agreement" if its requirements were not met.

As the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, noted, Russia found a fictitious excuse for withdrawing from the agreement.

After the Russian occupiers announced an attack by drones on their ships in Crimea on October 29, messages on this topic appeared in anonymous propaganda channels.

NATO forces were allegedly engaged in a drone attack in Sevastopol Bay. It was allegedly their military training under cover of Ukrainian strikes. Once again, propagandists repeat the message that Ukraine has become a testing ground for Western and American weapons.

Allegedly, revenge is expected for this, and the Ukrainians will receive a response in the form of strikes on the energy system. Whenever the occupiers report an attack on the occupied sites, they resort to intimidation tactics against the civilian population. Propagandists spread similar messages on October 8 after the attack on the Crimean bridge.

The window of opportunity has allegedly opened for Russia to start a "full-scale war." However, Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine has been ongoing since February 24, 2022.

The Russians terrorize millions of Ukrainians daily, destroy entire cities and villages, and attack the energy system. In this way, they want to sow panic among Ukrainians to start protests and force the Ukrainian authorities to negotiate with Russia, which means meeting the Kremlin's requirements and capitulating.

The shelling of the power system and residential buildings only angers Ukrainians more, and more Ukrainians say there can be no negotiations with a terrorist country.

The Russian propaganda media spread this thesis. Reports say that Poland allegedly continues preparations for the division of Ukraine and, for this purpose, has started the construction of an energy bridge.

The reports' authors claim that the energy bridge construction is taking place within the framework of the project of reintegration of "historical" Polish lands. The Poles have allegedly been working for a long time to take control of the energy infrastructure of the western regions of Ukraine.

They believe this will allow Poland to strengthen its influence in Ukraine significantly. Online media Ye.ua drew attention to the message. It isn't the first time Russia has leaked information about Poland's so-called plans to occupy part of Ukraine. Propagandists have already spread information that Poland is trying to annex part of Ukraine and are preparing for this in every possible way. In particular, Poland is allegedly preparing a referendum in the Lviv region.

However, it is a fake, as is the case with the power system. It isn't Poland that wants to destroy the Ukrainian energy system and take it under control, but Russia, since October 10, has been systematically shelling energy facilities throughout Ukraine.

This information is spread by pro-Kremlin Russian media. Reports say that since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Europeans have been forced to save on electricity due to Ursula von der Leyen, Olaf Scholz, and Emmanuel Macron giving money to the Ukrainian Nazis for weapons. The reports add that Russian cultural centers in Finland and Luxembourg have already welcomed visitors who need to "warm up" as energy prices soar.

Analysts of the EU vs Disinfo project drew attention to the message. As experts write, this message feeds the well-known Kremlin narrative that the West is falling apart. Instead, the Kremlin seeks to pressure and blackmail European governments and create public panic over energy insecurity/cost of energy.

In fact, Ukraine isn't a Nazi state, and Nazism isn't a Ukrainian ideology. The myth of Nazi authorities in Ukraine has been a cornerstone of Russian disinformation about the country since the beginning of the Euromaidan protests in 2013-14. It's beneficial for Russia to produce messages that the money of European taxpayers is spent on supporting the terrible Nazi regime to discredit Ukraine in the eyes of Europeans.

Moreover, with the help of such messages, Russia transfers responsibility for what is happening worldwide.

Pro-Russian Telegram channels write that Vice Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk allegedly said this. In fact, the propagandists distorted the words of Iryna Vereshchuk addressed to the refugees. She asked Ukrainians to stay abroad until spring. Vereshchuk voiced such a request regarding the destruction of critical infrastructure due to Russian missile strikes and increased load on the power system due to the heating season. Propagandists manipulate the fact that Vereshchuk's words allegedly contradict Volodymyr Zelenskyy's message about restoring infrastructure. The messages also add the theses that European countries have already been "quite exhausted" because of the aid to Ukraine, the accommodation of refugees, and the financial crisis. These messages add to enhance the effect of manipulation. So, the West is primarily thinking about dealing with its problems, not Ukraine.

During October, propagandists promoted messages that Kyiv was allegedly preparing to use a "dirty bomb." Western partners regarded these messages as "unsuccessful blackmail and provocation." As the Center for Combating Disinformation writes, the Russians began to compare Zelenskyy with Osama bin Laden after not getting the desired result of their fake. He allegedly plans to use weapons of mass destruction against himself and his people. Russia again hasn't provided any evidence of preparation for the so-called "dirty bomb" in Ukraine.

They came up with a new goal for the so-called "special operation" in Russia. The "Kyiv regime" allegedly turned Ukraine into a "totalitarian hypersect" that professes "neo-paganism" as the basis of "radical nationalism." The assistant secretary of the Russian Security Council of the UN, Oleksiy Pavlov, also believes that the number of "satanic sects" in Ukraine is unknown. Still, the count "definitely runs into the hundreds." Instead, Ramzan Kadyrov announced the goal of "de-shaitanizing" Ukraine. According to the Constitution of Ukraine, every citizen of Ukraine has the right to freedom of worldview and religion. Ukrainians can practice any religion or not, participate freely in religious cults and ritual rites, and conduct religious activities. This right is limited by law only if religious beliefs affect the protection of the population's public order, health, and morals or the protection of the rights and freedoms of other people. The church and religious organizations in Ukraine are separated from the state. Therefore, the Ukrainian authorities cannot influence the religious views of Ukrainians in any way.

According to the network of religious organizations report, as of January 1, 2021, several pagan currents were registered in Ukraine. These are 161 organizations, only 0.4% of the total number of religious organizations. Some researchers of religious currents consider Satanists to be a religious group of neo-pagan native believers, but it is only one of the scientific approaches. Primarily paganism and neo-paganism in Ukraine are associated with the return of people to ancient Slavic beliefs, which existed even in the days of Kyivan Rus and had nothing to do with the cult of Satan. Moreover, pagans considered themselves a light cult and were forbidden to perform dark rituals. Oleksiy Pavlov's references to religious beliefs, totalitarianism, and radical nationalism are an unsuccessful attempt to equate Ukraine with Nazi Germany.

In pro-Russian Telegram channels, the message of the Russian propagandist, the director of the Russian-language broadcasting of the Russia Today TV channel, Anton Krasovsky, during an interview with the Russian fiction writer Serhiy Lukyanenko, is being distributed.

Anton Krasovsky called for killing Ukrainian children, and telegram channels are already calling for the extermination of all Ukrainians. In order to emphasize the "inhumanity" of Ukrainians, the reports use a fake that the Armed Forces allegedly "carry cats and dogs with them, which are not fed for several days, so that they can then be fed to dead Russian soldiers." The fact checkers of the NotaYenot project drew attention to the spread of the message. In fact, Russian propaganda has long been talking about the "inferiority and inferiority" of Ukrainians, accusing them of Nazism and cultivating intolerance and aggression towards Ukrainians.

Propagandist Krasovsky has spread anti-Ukrainian appeals before. He claimed that the so-called "special operation" would not end until Ukraine signs its capitulation and that Ukrainian children should be taken care of only when they "become Russian." Read more about Krasovsky's statements and the reaction to them. Pro-Russian Telegram channels are also not the first to show aggression towards Ukrainians.

After the massive rocket attacks on October 10, the Russians rejoiced at the death of civilians. As a result of the strike, Ukrainians were left without electricity, water, and heat. The spread of such messages causes an obvious emotional solid reaction in Ukrainians, which is then used by propaganda for its purposes. In this way, Russian propaganda tries to impose the opinion that "Ukrainians aren't sorry." They try to justify a full-scale invasion and the deaths of thousands of people.

Such a message is spread, in particular, in the Belgian segment of social networks. Pro-Russian users share photos and videos of a lightly injured woman who took a selfie while ambulance workers treated her. If you were the victim of a missile strike, you don't seem to care about selfies or videos. So, according to propagandists, this behavior of people shows that they are actors and not really victims.

Belgian fact-checkers drew attention to the spread of the message. They write that the photos and video fragments shared on social networks are, in fact, taken out of context in such a way as to leave room for ambiguous conclusions.

Propagandists used the behavior of one of the least traumatized victims to promote their message while ignoring more serious human injuries and deaths. Other victims of the Russian attack can be seen in the photo's background, including people injured by glass fragments from the office center next to which the rocket landed. Numerous photographs and videos taken by Ukrainian and foreign journalists in Kyiv on October 10 confirm that the photos show seriously injured people, not actors. The photos were also published on the front pages of foreign publications, which Russian propaganda accused of posting fake images.

Such information is distributed on social networks; in particular, fake accounts advertise this information on Facebook.

The Russian military is allegedly evacuating civilians from Kherson to protect people from shelling and possibly undermining the dam of the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant. It shows that they treat civilians more carefully than the Ukrainian military. The Ukrainian army allegedly prefers to take cover as civilians during hostilities. Since the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine, Russian propagandists have been promoting the message that the Ukrainian military is using civilians as "human shields."

Propagandists show their careful attitude of the Russians towards the Ukrainians as a forced evacuation to Russia without the right to choose, the seizure of the homes of the people who evacuated, the abduction of children, and the intimidation that during the de-occupation all locals will be shot. Those civilians who disagree with Russian propaganda are kidnapped from their homes, tortured, and buried in mass graves.

"Human shield" is a standard element of the tactics of the Russian army: it was the case in Chechnya, Georgia, and Syria. It is happening now in Ukraine as well. The Russians practice creating a "human shield," organizing offline training in schools, creating huge queues of cars at roadblocks, and placing military equipment and personnel near residential buildings. Therefore, Russian soldiers are worse than terrorists who take hostages.

Anonymous Telegram channels distribute such messages. They also spread posts about the lack of weapons and advertise the profiles of nameless people on Facebook.

The management of the drone company Bayraktar allegedly informed the Office of the President of Ukraine that they were forced to reduce supplies because Russia included such a condition in one of the clauses of the gas agreement with Turkey. Russian propagandists assure that the USA has refused to supply Ukraine with air defense systems and the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS). The West allegedly can only transfer a few air defense systems to Ukraine. At most, air defense will be able to cover the West and a small part of the Center of Ukraine. Other regions will allegedly be forced to solve defense problems on their own.

As you know, at the beginning of October, four additional HIMARS salvo fire systems arrived in Ukraine. On October 19, the manufacturer Lockheed Martin said that the US is increasing the production of HIMARS due to the Ukrainian military's successful use of these systems over the past few months. Baykar Makina also continues to support Ukraine with drones. The recent agreement between Turkish President Erdogan and Putin on creating a gas hub in Turkey doesn't affect their activities.

However, Putin has been offering Erdogan cooperation in the production of drones since the beginning of the summer of 2022. Such messages show that the Ukrainian army will have nothing to fight and Russia will win in a few days. This autumn, the Ukrainian military is confidently moving forward, liberating the territory in the Kharkiv, Kherson, and Donetsk directions. Instead, propagandists invented "news" about Ukraine's arms reduction to show that it was a fluke and that the Russian army would no longer allow a retreat from the territories.

Pro-Kremlin anonymous Telegram channels massively spread such messages.

On the evening of October 22 in Zaporizhzhia, the Security Service of Ukraine detained Vyacheslav Boguslayev, the honorary president of the Motor Sich joint-stock company, on suspicion of working for Russia. Investigators established that after 2014, the Motor Sich company continued to supply aircraft engines to Russian planes that bombed Ukraine. For the next few days, Boguslayev's arrest was actively discussed by Russian propagandists on social networks to prove that he allegedly had nothing to do with Russia.

At first, propagandists assumed that Boguslayev's arrest was a purge of Zelenskyy's competitors in the new political season. From 2021, the Ukrainian authorities allegedly arrested everyone whose opinion differed from Zelenskyy's policy. Propagandists claim that there is classified information on everyone who once cooperated with Russia, particularly on Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who once had business in Russia.

The West allegedly knows about it and decides when and whom to detain. Boguslayev became a "victim" of the "western curators of Ukraine" dispute. He reportedly earned money from Turkish bayraktars and has nothing to do with Russia. Russian propagandists emphasize that Boguslayev is a friend of Turkey and the USA but an enemy of Russia. Ukrainian politicians who fled to Russia spread the idea that Boguslayev's story is not about politics; it is only about money. Russian propagandists didn't accidentally whitewash Boguslayev's reputation.

Their messages were a kind of informational counterattack to the facts of the Security Service of Ukraine, which published audio recordings of the telephone conversations of the president of Motor Sich. These audios confirm Boguslayev's cooperation with Russia, that he didn't hide his pro-Russian views, and was repeatedly elected as a People's Deputy from the pro-Russian Party of Regions.

October 23, the Russian media once again began spreading the message that the Ukrainian authorities are allegedly preparing to detonate a "dirty bomb" or a low-power nuclear weapon on the territory of Ukraine.

The "dirty bomb" is allegedly manufactured under the direction of Western curators, the Eastern Mining and Processing Plant, located in Zhovti Vody, Dnipropetrovsk Region, and the Kyiv Institute of Nuclear Research are involved.

If the provocation is successful, Ukraine allegedly plans to accuse Russia of using weapons of mass destruction to launch a powerful anti-Russian campaign in the world, aimed at undermining the trust in Moscow of many of its key partners. At the same time, the West will again try to raise the issue of depriving Russia of its status as a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

Russia spread messages about producing a "dirty" bomb in Ukraine even before a full-scale war. Although each time, this thesis attracted new "goals." Initially, the Ukrainian "dirty" bomb was one of the reasons why the Russian army launched a full-scale invasion. Subsequently, propagandists assured that in this way, the West is resorting to "nuclear blackmail"; therefore, Russia is forced to defend itself. The "third party" provokes Russia into a nuclear conflict. This time, Russian propaganda reduced the level of intimidation, and now the "dirty bomb" is the reason for the rise of anti-Russian rhetoric worldwide. However, such rhetoric was successfully formed precisely when, on February 24, Russia launched a massive missile attack on the whole of Ukraine for the first time. Since then, the Russians have been committing atrocities on the territory of Ukraine every day to turn as many countries as possible away from them and intensify the anti-Russian campaign.

For the second week, the Kherson's residents have been informationally attacked with a series of messages, urging them to "evacuate" across the Dnipro to the left bank. Propaganda anonymous channels spread information about the Ukrainian military's alleged shelling of peaceful areas. The occupiers also offered "free vacation for children and adults in Russia," distributed leaflets "Save your family - leave for the left bank," and information with routes. Propagandists send text messages urging them to "evacuate" immediately because they say there will be shelling residential areas.

On October 22, they began to intimidate people by sending out audio in the Ukrainian language, allegedly on behalf of the Ukrainian military. In the audio, it is said that not a single surviving house will remain in Kherson.

As noted by the fact-checkers of the "NotaYenota" project, the man's Ukrainian language is perfect. It's probably a record of either a Ukrainian prisoner or one of the Kherson collaborators. Residents of Kherson and the right-bank part of the region, who were evacuated, will allegedly be able to receive a payment of 100,000 rubles and a certificate for purchasing housing in Crimea. Such messages aim not only to intimidate the people of Kherson and force them to evacuate but also to discredit the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Ukrainian military never targets civilians and never sends anything that could threaten Ukrainians or discredit the army.

After a significant part of the population left Kherson, the Russian occupiers changed into civilian clothes and settled in the homes of the evacuees. As reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it is how the enemy is preparing Kherson for street battles.

The Kherson regional military administration calls on residents to ignore the "evacuation."

Such information is promoted in anonymous Telegram channels. Poles, Romanians, Slovaks, and Hungarians allegedly want to destroy a piece of Ukraine for their purposes. Fresh evidence of this is that Poland allegedly moves military equipment to the border with Belarus. According to propagandists, if Belarus officially takes part in the war against Ukraine, then the USA and Britain will allow the territories of Ukraine to be divided between the neighboring countries - Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania. Russia's mission is supposed to protect Ukraine from division. For the sake of this goal, Russia is ready to use "not only tactical nuclear weapons but something stronger" against Ukraine.

Earlier, propagandists repeatedly spread fakes about Poland's intention to annex Lviv Oblast. In particular, they wrote that Poland had begun an "economic takeover" of Ukraine and the western regions of Ukraine and that a referendum would be held in Lviv Oblast regarding the region's accession to Poland. Disinformation about the intention of Western countries to take over Ukraine is aimed at destroying Ukraine's unity with the European Union and canceling support for Ukraine.

This way, propagandists divert attention from illegal pseudo-referendums in the territories temporarily occupied by Russia and convince them that they aren't taking over Ukraine but protecting it from Western invaders.
