On Telegram, Russian propagandists are spreading that the Banknote and Mint of the National Bank of Ukraine in Kyiv was allegedly damaged as a result of a Russian drone strike on November 12, 2024. They provided precise coordinates that match Google Maps data, which was supposed to add credibility to these claims. However, this information is not true.

StopFake reports this. The project's experts found out that the images used were indeed taken from old news: most of these photos are related to the June 3 fire at a warehouse in the Desnianskyi district of Kyiv on Zakrevskyi Street, and not to the attack on the NBU facility. Official sources also do not confirm this information: as of November 12, none of the messages from the Kyiv City Military Administration (KMV), Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klychko or the State Emergency Service of Ukraine contained information about damage to the Banknote and Mint. In addition, this facility is located on another street, which once again refutes the claims of its defeat. Another image that they are trying to link to the attack was actually taken on April 28, 2022, during the shelling of the Shevchenkivskyi district of Kyiv.

This disinformation is yet another attempt by pro-Kremlin media to sow panic and create the impression that Ukraine’s financial infrastructure is under constant threat.
