Information about the “evacuation” from populated areas of the Poltava region due to possible rocket attacks on the Kremenchuh hydroelectric power station is distributed by anonymous users in personal messages. In doing so, they refer to the State Emergency Service.

However, this is disinformation, as reported by the Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security at the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine. At the same time, the State Emergency Service has already responded to this. They stated that such messages are “hostile information injection aimed at destabilizing the situation”.

The Center also urged to trust only verified sources of information. We previously wrote that unknown people, on behalf of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, announced a fake evacuation from Kharkiv.
