Fake In Sumy, they are allegedly looking for refrigerators due to large losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region

Propagandists are distributing information on the social network X, allegedly near one of the hospitals in the city of Sumy, an advertisement was noticed in which the administration is looking for trucks with refrigerators for transporting “oversized cargo”. According to propagandists, these trucks will be used to transport the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers, who “continue to die en masse during attempts by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to attack the Kursk region”. But in fact this ad is fake.

The Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security spoke about this on the telegram channel. Firstly, the contact phone number with the name Dmytro indicated in these advertisements actually belongs to a girl named Daria, Ukrinform fact-checkers have established. Secondly, the photo of the truck posted in the ad was indeed previously published on the website of an online store in Russia. Propagandists simply used ready-made illustrations for a fake ad.

This fake is part of the Kremlin’s disinformation campaign against the actions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in the Kursk region. His goal is to discredit the Ukrainian army, spread the message that the operation in the Kursk region is supposedly an absolute failure for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and also to hide the losses and failures of Russia itself on the battlefield.
