Russian media and pro-Russian telegram channels once again spread information that supposedly Poland wants to return "its territories". They say that Kyiv and Warsaw agreed on the occupation of Western Ukraine, and the plan should be implemented by Polish mercenaries, a large number of whom are fighting for Ukraine.

Stanislav Zharyn, a spokesman for the Coordinating Minister of the Polish Intelligence Services, drew attention to this on his Twitter.

He noted that Russian propagandists spread misinformation, allegedly "the Polish government approves of such participation of these mercenaries".

According to him, Russian propaganda has actively worked to introduce these messages into the Western information environment, and these hostile efforts are "perfectly in line with the Kremlin's attempts to portray Poland as a warmonger and isolate Warsaw on the international stage".

"Russian propaganda is activating the information war in order to break the will and readiness of the allies to continue to support Kyiv, and comes up with far-fetched pretexts for striking civilian and energy infrastructure in Ukraine", Zharyn added.

After the surrender of Kherson, Russian propagandists launched theses on social networks that victory for Russia was inevitable. On November 12, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmytro Medvediev made a statement in confirmation. They say that Russia has so far allegedly not used its "arsenal of means of destruction" and "did not strike at all possible hostile targets located in populated areas", including because of the "human kindness" characteristic of Russians.

Such theses began to spread in pro-Russian anonymous telegram channels after the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi categorically refused to go to negotiations with the President of Russia Volodymyr Putin with his ultimatums about capitulation and after Russian troops began to retreat from the Kherson region.

Allegedly, the Office of the President is trying to avoid freezing the conflict and is generally demanding a war so that Zelenskyi's rating remains high; all economic and financial problems can be hidden or attributed to the war so they may ask the West and the USA for more and more loans.

This thesis is spread by propagandists and anonymous telegram channels. The report says that the status of Kherson allegedly has not changed. Like, Kherson remains a part of Russia because the population voted in a referendum for joining Russia.

In fact, the Kherson region is and remains a part of sovereign Ukraine. The entire civilized world did not recognize the results of pseudo-referendums and the creation of "people's republics". International law recognizes Ukrainian borders established in 1991. That is, Ukrainian laws now apply to the Kherson region.

In addition, Kherson is a de-occupied territory now. It is the Ukrainian military, not the Russian one, who is there now.

Propagandists call the temporarily occupied and de-occupied territories Russia, which in fact is not. In this way, they only continue to deceive the population of Russia and talk about "victories" that do not exist.

Pro-Russian telegram channels write about this in the context of the liberation of the right-bank Kherson region. They say that with the arrival of the Ukrainian army, constant shelling at civilians will begin. Also, allegedly, this is the “end” to all the inhabitants of Kherson who collaborated with the Russians. And according to propagandists, those are "tens of thousands".

In fact, the Ukrainian army will not shell the de-occupied territories of the Kherson region because there are both civilian Ukrainians and Ukrainian troops there. Only Russians can strike at the liberated territories.

Regarding the intimidation of the inhabitants of the Kherson region about the "reprisal", the Russians used the same tactics during the liberation of the Kiev region, Chernihiv region, Kharkiv region. In particular, propagandists wrote that the Ukrainian military shelled people's houses in Bucha because people took help from the Russians. They also spread fake news that in the liberated territories everyone who does not support Ukrainian nationalism will be executed.

During the counter-offensive in the Kharkiv region, anonymous pro-Kremlin telegram channels were on the alert, assuring that Ukraine would launch messages that the Russians had tortured civilians in the occupied Kharkiv region. They also claimed that the SSU (Security service of Ukraine) was preparing a punitive operation against citizens loyal to Russia in Kharkiv. Also, allegedly, Ukrainians will be punished for receiving Russian humanitarian aid in the temporarily occupied territories.

Thus, Russian propaganda is trying to spread the narrative about “Ukrainian nazi punishers” and act proactively in order to hide the crimes of the Russian army in the temporarily occupied territories.

Such a thesis is spread by Russian propaganda, both in the Kremlin media and in social networks. In particular, such a message appears from time to time in pro-Kremlin anonymous telegram channels. The authors of such reports claim that Ukrainians are ignorant vandals who forget their history and are ready to destroy all monuments and memorials associated with the Soviet Union or Russia, solely at the direction of the authorities. This time the message appeared in the information space against the backdrop of news about the dismantling of the monument to Catherine II in Odesa.

Prior to this, such messages were spread, for example, when monuments to the Russian poet Oleksandr Pushkin were dismantled in turn in Ukrainian cities. The propagandists have only one argument: Ukrainians are poorly educated, they are overshadowed by the ideas of "nazism" and are ready to destroy everything that contradicts their ideology, in particular, very valuable sights, like the statue of Catherine II. The Russians are very concerned about the destruction of "values" in Ukraine, so even the Russian Investigative Committee expressed its readiness to "investigate" the cases of destruction. However, the Russians claiming the value of the long-term monument to Catherine are silent about the fact that this monument is actually a replica restored in 2007, and not an old bronze sculpture. According to Beyond the news, the monument of 1900 erected in honor of the alleged 100th anniversary of the city was dismantled in 1920: four sculptures of the empress's associates were kept in the local history museum, and only the head remained from the statue of the Russian queen.

The monument was reproduced under the name "Monument to the founders of the city" in 2007. And after the dismantling of the monument, they do not plan to destroy it. According to the representative of the Odesa Regional Military Administration Serhii Bratchuk, four figures of the so-called composition "To the Founders of Odesa" will return to the museum. However, it is the Russians who are engaged in vandalism in the temporarily occupied territory and, in particular, for ideological reasons. For example, according to Beyond the News, in Mariupol they dismantled the monument to the Victims of the Holodomor of 1932-1933 and political repressions, destroyed the Art Museum named after Arkhyp Kuyindzhi and even a mural dedicated to the girl Milana who survived Russian shelling in 2015. In addition, the Russians do not hide the fact that they took everything valuable from the Kherson Art Museum, and in Melitopol the invaders first robbed the local history museum, and then reopened it, while it is not known what happened to Scythian gold, the most valuable exhibit.

This thesis is spread by the Russian propaganda media. It is also replicated in social networks, in particular, in pro-Russian telegram channels. Reports say that Berlin is preparing to "make money" on the gas pipelines of the Russian multinational company "Gazprom" to deliver fuel from its LNG terminals. Like, according to forecasts, the German authorities are most likely preparing to seize Russia in this way. Propagandists are convinced that the Germans have been trying to seize "Rus" since ancient prehistoric times. In fact, this is an unsubstantiated statement of the pro-Kremlin media, which drew the attention of analysts of the EU vs Disinfo project. According to them, this thesis arose against the backdrop of news about the explosions of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. However, there are no facts or evidence to support the claim that Germany wants to take over Russia.

Explosions on both gas pipelines did occur, but there is no evidence that Germany was to blame for them so that this could be a step towards taking over Russia. As EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said: "Any deliberate undermining of the European energy infrastructure is absolutely unacceptable and will be met with a tough and common response". NATO called these incidents "deliberate, reckless and irresponsible acts of sabotage". However, the European Union did not name any party considered responsible for the incident. This is not the first time Russia has stated that it sees a threat from any country without giving good reasons for that. In particular, Russia also substantiates the so-called threat from Ukraine for the attack on Ukraine. Like, if they had not started a war, Ukraine would have attacked first, etc.

The language issue is one of the key reasons for the manipulation of Russian propaganda. More often, messages in the Ukrainian language are promoted with a negative emotional connotation. Like, the Ukrainian language is “funny”, “village”, “artificially created”, etc.

The Center for Counteracting Disinformation has published a number of the most common fakes in the Ukrainian language. Particularly, Russian propaganda often writes that the language allegedly does not matter, that Russian and Ukrainian are the most related languages. Allegedly, speech does not affect national and cultural identity.

In fact, linguistic oppression has been one of the main instruments of Russia's struggle against Ukraine for centuries. The Ukrainian language is an original, natural Slavic language. It has never been artificial, moreover, when forming the literary Ukrainian language, they tried in every possible way to avoid artificial constructions. Dialects of the Ukrainian language have never been dialects of Russian.

According to a survey in February 2022, 56% of Ukrainians named the Ukrainian language of everyday communication, and almost 68% named Ukrainian as their mother tongue. Russian aggression against Ukraine has contributed to the fact that more and more Russian-speaking citizens of Ukraine are abandoning Russian and switching to communication in Ukrainian.

This is the message Russian propaganda is spreading to foreign audiences. Like, Zelensky will take this step, even if it destroys his country. Allegedly, Zelenskyi is a puppet of the United States, doing what Washington requires of him, he is “indifferent to everything”, he is a “genuinely mean character.”

Like, the importance of Ukrainian grain for the world is exaggerated. The share of Ukraine's grain exports in world consumption is insignificant, and this cannot seriously affect prices. Such messages are spread by Russian propaganda.

The fact-checkers of EU vs Disinfo drew attention to the spread of the message. In fact, Ukraine is one of the largest grain producers in the world. In fact, Ukraine accounts for 10% of the world wheat market, 15% of the corn market and 13% of the barley market. Ukraine is also the main producer of sunflower oil.

Suspension of grain deliveries as a result of Russia's blockade of Ukrainian ports led to a rapid increase in grain prices. By mid-May, export prices for wheat and corn reached unprecedented heights. Prices fell after the signing of a grain agreement between Turkey, Ukraine, Russia and the UN and the unblocking of the Black Sea for Ukrainian grain exports.

Anonymous pro-Russian telegram channels write about this. The message is confirmed by the alleged decision to dismantle the monument to Catherine II. Reports claim that the decision was made on the basis of a "fictitious" vote. Like, the Office of the President gave a clear instruction to the mayor of Odesa, Trukhanov, to demolish the monument, so that the latter is allegedly doing everything possible for this.

In fact, the monument is called the monument to the "Founders of Odesa", and not Catherine herself. However, it is the figure of Catherine whose stone statue is the central figure of the monument that Russian propaganda manipulates the most. The Russian myth about Catherine II as the “founder of Odesa” is spread by Volodymyr Putin among other things.

There is no decision on dismantling yet. On the website of the President of Ukraine, several petitions have been registered regarding the future fate of this monument. Some of them got the required 25,000 votes. According to the current legislation, Volodymyr Zelenskyi submitted a petition to the Odesa City Council with a request to consider it in accordance with its competence.

According to the order of the Odesa Mayor No. 404 dated September 20, 2022, the townspeople had the opportunity to express their opinion on this issue for a month. There were seven options to choose from. About 8 thousand inhabitants of Odesa took part in the voting. About 1800 more votes were blocked, most likely due to problems with identification. The voting results were transferred to the Office for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Objects of the Odesa city council for further development and preparation of a draft decision of the city council.

By spreading such messages, anonymous social media accounts exaggerate their influence on the mood of Ukrainian society during the war. Allegedly due to the fact that the authorities do not tell the Ukrainians about the real state of things, what they are preparing for and where Ukraine is heading, disappointment will only grow. They say that only alternative sources of information give the people answers about what the reality will be and how to prepare for it, so Ukrainians are buying up various things that will help them survive in the event of a power outage and heating. Neither the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi, nor the mayor of Kyiv Vitalii Klychko, nor any head of the regional military state administration hides the fact that the Russian army is carrying out genocide of the Ukrainian people and destroying infrastructure. Authorities urge people to prepare the necessary supplies and explain how to act and where to look for information in the worst case scenario. This means that the authorities have not given up, but are considering different scenarios in order to endure and be prepared.

Anonymous channels spreading insider information is one of the tactics of Russian propaganda. On critical days, these sources will begin to disperse panic and intimidation, which work no worse than missiles and are informational terror.

Due to the fact that Russia is now losing the war against Ukraine, propagandists are throwing theses about a global offensive into the information space. According to one version, it should begin in early November, and then Russia will begin to fight at full power, recently propagandists have postponed the offensive to the end of the month. They say that in Russia they will prepare reserves and begin “to take out to the front everything that has been prepared and developed for so long”.

Thus, Russian propaganda is trying to intimidate Ukrainians and hide their own failures at the front, humiliating retreats and the fact that a Russian victory in this war is unrealistic. Also, the propagandists cover up with stories about the power of the Russian army the real picture that the mobilized Russians have no motivation to fight against Ukraine, they commit suicide before reaching the front, and when they get to Ukraine, they look for ways to surrender.

In February, Russia was already planning to take Kyiv in three days. Defeated, the Russian military launched airstrikes on populated areas and Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

Such messages against the backdrop of the theme of global hunger are distributed by anonymous telegram channels controlled by the Federal security service (FSB).

Russian propagandists distributed a map with food risk zones developed by The Economist. Allegedly, according to them the population of Ukraine will be under the threat of starvation as in Ethiopia and Afghanistan, and the Ukrainian authorities, meanwhile, are exporting and selling everything. Like, the political elite will plunder grain, destroy Ukraine, cease business, leave people alone with all the problems, and go to the West.

In fact, The Economist used a food risk map to illustrate the article "How men with guns aggravate global hunger". The journalist believes that "Mr. Putin's senseless war" will increase hunger on a global scale. He writes that famine in Ethiopia and Afghanistan was caused by armed people, but this crisis did not affect the whole world. Putin is “powerful enough” to create conditions in which “millions of children worldwide will grow up to be less intelligent, and thus lead poorer and less productive lives”.

Russian propagandists have been writing about the fact that the Ukrainian government is about to leave or has already fled to Europe from the first day of a full-scale war. In this way, they want to intimidate Ukrainians and push them into thinking that Putin is their only support omitting the facts that Ukrainian farmers cannot work productively due to the constant shelling of the Russian army, that the Russians burned wheat fields and prevent Ukrainian ships from delivering grain to the countries that are on the point of facing famine.

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.
