The authors of many “patriotic” telegram channels in Russia were outraged not only by the exchange of the leadership of the Azov Regiment, which the Russian authorities promised to give to the tribunal and generally ruled out the possibility of their exchange, but also by the fact that Viktor Medvedchuk was among those who surrendered to Russia.

The military or political leadership of the Russian Federation has not yet commented on the exchange because of the indignation of the “patriots” who consider it a defeat, real and informational. But Russian propagandists and PR people are making significant efforts to distance the leadership of the Russian Federation in the information field from any defeats and shift the responsibility to someone else. Therefore, commenting on the exchange of more than 200 Ukrainian military and foreigners who fought on the side of Ukraine was instructed to Denys Pushylin, the leader of the “DNR”.

He stated that he “signed the order himself” on the exchange, which is surprising since the exchange was coordinated by the efforts of a group of negotiators, including the Turkish president, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, representatives of President Zelenskyi’s office – and none of these countries, of course, recognized the “DNR” as “a part of the conflict”, and Pushylin as a person who can decide at least something. Still, Erdohan thanked the efforts of “Zelenskyi and Putin” for creating the possibility of an exchange.

But it is Pushylin who is spread by Russian propaganda where he explains that Medvedchuk was “liberated from Ukrainian captivity”. Although Medvedchuk was in custody and is a citizen of Ukraine, therefore he cannot be captured and thanks to his previous “merits” he cannot be involved in organizing the exchange of prisoners. And it seems that the absence of Medvedchuk in Russia “complicated the referendum and support for this referendum”. Consequently, the detained Medvedchuk complicated the process of “expression of will” in the occupied parts of Ukraine, and how come “free Medvedchuk” could help the “referendums” that would begin tomorrow, Pushylin, of course, did not explain.

All these incomprehensible statements are another proof that in any defeats, Russian propaganda is trying to shift the responsibility to the “people of Donbas”. For example, during the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region, it was the Russian propaganda who blamed the defeat on those mobilized from the occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

Russian propaganda came up with a new fake to prove the “inhumanity” of Ukrainians. To do this, they used a video of a woman who walks around the supermarket, approaches a large container and says: “Oh, how interesting! “Orcs” in a transparent package. Something new”.

Where exactly and when the video was taken is unknown. But judging by the design of the container, which StopFake drew attention to, these are toys that have already begun to be sold on Halloween, which is celebrated on the night of November 1st. Russian propaganda used the name of the toys to prove that Ukrainian children are offered to play with “the bones of Russian soldiers who are called orcs in Ukraine”.

Telegram channels controlled by the the main office of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation such as Lehitymnyi (Дegitimate), Resident and others began to manipulate the topic of the exchange of Ukrainian prisoners of war in order to reduce another defeat for Russia in particular on the information front.

For the sake of this, they distribute several theses at once. The first is that prisoners of war, in particular, the commanders of the Azov regiment, were exchanged as part of a “grand agreement” that provides for “freezing the conflict” and ceding Ukraine to Russia. For example, stopping the offensive or recognizing Crimea as Russian or recognizing the results of so-called referendums. Probably, a rather narrow circle of people who were negotiators in the process of exchanging the Ukrainian military for Viktor Medvedchuk and the Russian military know the terms of this exchange. But this is definitely not a cessation of hostilities or consent to the loss of territories. After all, it is known that President Zelenskyi offered to export Russian ammonia through the territory of Ukraine in order to exchange the Ukrainian military and return them home. That is, it was about economic, not military-political issues.

The second thesis, spread by telegram channels, has no rational explanation at all: the authors of the messages insist that now that “even the Azov people” have been exchanged, that is, those whom Russian propagandists proposed to publicly condemn and execute, the Ukrainian military will surrender en masse, because that "they will understand that nothing threatens them in captivity." And this, it would seem, is “a side, but negative, consequence of such an exchange for Ukraine”. Why the fighters of the army leading the offensive and knowing how they shoot, torture, burn Ukrainian prisoners alive, should “surrender en masse”, the network of the main office of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation channels does not explain.

Russian media and anonymous telegrams write about this. Like, “a bright symbol that charged the townspeople with optimism” suddenly disappeared. Moreover, postcards were allegedly hung in the city with a message about the search. The reason for the disappearance, according to propagandists, was the tense situation in the city. They also say that he was allegedly seen in Odesa as it is better protected. It's fake.

Vitalii Kim is the current head of the Mykolaiv regional civil-military administration, appointed by the Decree of the President of Ukraine in accordance with the law. Kim denied the information about his “escape” by recording a video from his office.

“They say that I seem to have run away to Odessa or something like that ... Where to run? There are fewer shellings, we are moving forward, there is a lot of work because we need to build new fortifications already on the territory of Kherson”, Kim said.

Such a message is spread by anonymous pro-Russian telegram channels. Like, Ukraine treats the graves of the fallen without due respect.

After the liberation of the Kharkiv region in Izium, the bodies of the dead are being exhumed. According to the head of the Kharkiv regional administration Oleh Syniehubov, most of the exhumed are civilians, including children. Some of the dead have signs of violent death, there are bodies with their hands tied and signs of torture. The deceased were also found to have mine-explosive injuries, shrapnel and stab wounds. According to law enforcement officers, 11 dungeons have already been found in the territories of the Kharkiv region liberated from the Russians, six of them in the city of Izium. So the exhumation will make it possible to legally record the crimes committed by Russian soldiers and subsequently bring the perpetrators to justice.

In this way propagandists try to emotionally influence the exposure of their war crimes. Previously, they were proactive in asserting that Ukraine staged a genocide in Izium, and now they are digging up graves and blaming the Russians in order to get help from the West. The propagandists also prepared the Russians in advance for the fake “Bucha-2” in the Kharkiv direction.

Propaganda media write about this by comparing the interruption of the supply of water and electricity to the temporarily occupied Crimea with Russian missile strikes on the critical infrastructure of Ukraine, as a result of which Ukrainians were left without electricity and water. Allegedly, the West professes a policy of "double standards", they say: in 2014 no one said that Ukraine was committing crimes against Crimea. And as soon as Russia struck back, it was accused of violating humanitarian law and condemned such actions.

According to StopFake, the supply of electricity to the temporarily occupied peninsula was stopped due to Russia's unwillingness to comply with the terms of the contract. A similar situation with water supply through the North Crimean Canal - Russia refused to pay for the services provided, so Ukraine stopped the water supply. After that, Russia began to promote the narrative of “water ecocide” in Crimea.

In accordance with international law, Russia, as an occupying country, is obliged to provide Crimeans with everything they need. This has been repeatedly confirmed by the UN monitoring mission in Ukraine. However, Russia is known to be violating its obligations, moreover, it transfers its responsibility to Ukraine.

Russian media write about it. Like, Ukraine is preparing for this in advance, so it asks the West for even more necessary weapons. In the messages, propagandists allegedly refer to an article in The Wall Street Journal. This is not true.

In fact, in the article “Ukraine Signals Major Weapons Request for Long-Term Offensive Against Russia” there is no hint of an offensive. The authors of the publication analyze the list of 29 types of weapons and ammunition that Ukraine asks to provide. According to the authors of the article, this list is fully consistent with the development of the situation in Ukraine.

Russian propaganda is spreading messages about Ukraine's advance into Russian territory as part of a previous message that Russia was forced to launch a preemptive strike because otherwise Ukraine would have attacked first. Also, Russian propaganda is constantly trying to prevent the supply of weapons to Ukraine. To do this, they often manipulate quotes from Western publications taken out of context in order to pass off wishful thinking. Propagandists have previously written that Ukraine is using the offensive to get even more weapons. 

Russian propaganda media and publics on social networks write about this with reference to collaborator Vitalii Hanchev. Allegedly, seven detained foreigners study at the local medical college. According to Hanchev, the Armed Forces of Ukraine intend to be used to “make news fake like it was with Bucha”. It is not true.

Kremlin propaganda was refuted by Ukrainian policemen. According to the Kharkiv Anti-Corruption Center, seven Sri Lankan citizens aged between 20 and 40 arrived in Ukraine about three weeks before the full-scale invasion. Some of them came to study at the Kupiansk Medical College, and some came to work. They rented a house in Kupiansk. Fleeing from the occupation, they walked to Kharkiv, but on the way they were detained by the Russian military. The invaders took the foreigners to the aggregate plant in Vovchansk, where they kept them for 4 months and mocked them: they pulled out their nails, subjected them to physical and psychological violence. The Russians did not communicate in English, so the foreigners did not understand what they wanted from them and why they were tortured. The Russians said "money" during torture. The Investigation Department interrogates the victims and establishes all the details.

In separate websites and social networks, a manipulative map of the capital is being distributed with the designation of areas that “will be flooded in the event of the destruction of the Kyiv hydroelectric power station”. Like, the first three minutes after the accident, a 4-meter wave will cover the Obolonskyi residential area. Allegedly, in other two minutes, the water will reach Troieshchyna, in the next 10 minutes - Podil, in the next 15 minutes it will flood Rusanivka. In total, about 30 cities, hundreds of towns and villages will be under the threat of flooding. Such a "forecast" was made by "environmentalist Vasyl Kredo". This is not true.

Ukrhidroenerho calls such assessments pseudo-expert, unfounded and manipulative. The company's specialists do not predict a critical threat to the population in the event of rocket attacks by Russian troops on the dam of the Kyiv hydroelectric complex. The organization reported that the station and the dam were built with a significant margin of safety and stability, it is not so easy to destroy or significantly damage massive hydraulic structures by hitting a rocket. In case of damage to the metal gates of the dam, a gradual uncontrolled leakage of water from the Kyiv reservoir is possible, as a result of which some areas in the downstream of the hydroelectric complex will be flooded. “The flood zones will be insignificant and known to the State Emergency Service, local residents will be informed ahead of time,” Ukrhidroenerho assures.

According to the fact-checker of the “Beyond the News” project, Vasyl Kredo, who calls himself a philosopher-forecaster, ecologist-catastrophologist, writer-theologian-monk and a secular monk, spread rumors about a possible threat. Journalists call him an environmentalist and "leader of the International Public Group of Independent Specialists in Catastrophe Forecasting". In the Ukrainian Wikipedia, an article about him was withdrawn in 2013. The editors concluded that "the significance of Vasyl Kredo is not enough to leave an article about him". Self-promotion was also mentioned among the arguments, they called him "the self-appointed head of independent scientists for predicting disasters".

The spread of rumors about the consequences of damage to the Kyiv hydroelectric power station led to panic among people, especially after the missile attack on the Karachunivska dam in Kryvyi Rih. In a critical situation, you should remain calm, trust official sources of information, follow instructions and recommendations.

Their translation says that in Europe they calculated gas reserves and understood, they say, the only hope is for the resumption of supplies from Russia. In fact, the article is devoted to the topic of economy and the translation of Russian media is manipulation.

In the article, the authors, with the help of an independent service, calculate how much Europe will have enough gas at the current level of consumption and with a decrease in consumption. If the current level of gas use continues, the article says, there will be enough reserves in the storage facilities until the end of winter. Therefore, the alternative policy is to reduce consumption in order to conserve inventory. The problem of this path may be the lack of a unified energy policy in the EU.

After the liberation of the Kharkiv region from Russian invaders, Russian propagandists increasingly draw parallels between the tragedy in Bucha and the mass graves in Izium.

In telegram channels, they spread theses that everything is not so simple and that one should not believe the Ukrainian authorities, who are promoting themselves on dug up graves, because the Russians have nothing to do with the murders in Izium.

We explain the messages about the burials in Izium which the propagandists came up with:

1. The leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine refused to take the bodies of the dead Ukrainian soldiers from the morgue from Izium. The Russians with the locals buried them in the local cemetery.

If the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine delayed the operation to transfer the bodies of the dead soldiers from the occupied Izium, there could be only one reason for this - the constant shelling of the city by the Russians.

On one of the crosses in the forest is written: "AFU, 17 people, the city of Izium, from the morgue". At the same time, some of the graves are without crosses.

In addition, burials of about 20 Ukrainian servicemen with their hands tied were found nearby. This may indicate that they were in captivity, said the Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada for Human Rights Dmitro Lubinets in his Telegram.

2. Civilians of Izium died from Ukrainian shells arriving in the private sector. The Russians fought only on the outskirts of the city.

Since the beginning of March, people have died daily in Izium as a result of Russian airstrikes and bombings. Already on March 6, the Russian military was in the villages near Izium and tried to capture the city, and when they failed to shell the residential areas. And so it went on until April 1, until the Russians captured Izium.

3. Ukrainian authorities tear up the graves in the cemetery to show as many victims as possible.

In the forest near the cemetery, a mass grave of about 500 people who died during the occupation was discovered. Many crosses are knocked down from boards. Some have inscriptions - the surname and date of death, and mostly the serial number is indicated on the crosses. Judging by the date of death, at least some of the civilians died during the shelling of Izium by the Russian army. Currently, search groups are exhuming unmarked and mass graves.

4. Journalists were called to the cemetery to create a huge news story.

During the exhumation, Ukrainian and foreign journalists are indeed present but not to evoke emotions, but to show the world Russian crimes in the cities where the occupiers enter.

5. Zelenskyi will use the Izium case to get the West to tighten sanctions and Ukraine to receive more financial and military assistance.

It was the Russian military who attacked Izium and occupied the city, killing and torturing the locals. The world needs to know what war crimes and genocide Russia has committed in Ukraine.

6. Ukrainian authorities are using the mass graves in Izium as an explanation for why Zelenskyi is not negotiating with Putin. Like, Putin is ready for negotiations and the completion of the military operation can positively affect the lives of ordinary Europeans.

Volodymyr Zelenskyi said that negotiations with Russia are possible only if Russian troops leave the illegally occupied territory of Ukraine. Mass graves in Izium do not affect his decision.

7. Yermak published a photo of the graves from Izium where the date of death is March 9. That is, these people were tortured and executed by the Ukrainians themselves.

The head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andrii Yermak published a photo of the graves of an entire family who died on March 9 in a house as a result of a Russian air bomb. At least 44 people died under the rubble of the house.

Daria Herasymchuk, an adviser to the President's Office for Children's Rights and Child Rehabilitation, said that the Russians killed six members of the same family of three generations - Olena and Dmitro Stolpakov, little Sasha and Lesia, and Olena's parents Tetiana and Oleksandr. “Lesia Stolpakova, five years old. The Russians killed her on March 9, along with her mother, father and eight-year-old sister Sasha. Lesia's parents died very young. Mom Olena Stolpakova turned only 31 on February 1, and dad Dmytro - 33. Private entrepreneurs sold children's clothes and owned an online gift store. They raised two daughters. The family lived a happy, peaceful life until Russian troops came to kill Ukrainian civilians”, added Daria Herasymchuk.

8. The picture of the bones with yellow-blue ribbons was drawn even before the excavations, so it coincided and the artist guessed right.

A body with a yellow-blue bracelet on its arm was found in a mass grave.

With reference to the statement of the Russian consul in the Slovak Republic Ihor Bratchykov, Slovak websites that regularly distribute Russian propaganda wrote about this. Allegedly, in the Slovak village of Ladomyrov, two months ago, at the direction of the village headman, “with the help of a bulldozer, the burial place of soldiers of the tsarist army was razed to the ground”.

The police of the Slovak Republic called it an outright lie. The head of the Ladomyrov village, Vladyslav Tsuper, also absolutely denied the destruction of the cemetery.

According to him, the military cemetery of the dead soldiers of the Russian tsarist army during the First World War was equipped by the municipality in 2014. A chapel was erected at the cemetery, wooden crosses were installed. Concrete curbs were cemented into the ground around the crosses. “Recently, we chose only these borders – for better care of the territory”, the head of the village says about the situation at the military cemetery. The curbs made it difficult to clean and mow the grass. No grave was damaged - this can be seen in the photographs.

But Russian propagandists need to constantly come up with fakes, so they do not disdain anything in their business, writes Mukachevo.net.

A video from the Holy Trinity Church of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate in the village of Mala Komyshuvakha, not far from Izium, liberated after the Russian occupation, was distributed in a telegram by Russian propagandists, in particular, Volodymyr Soloviov and the Wise Thoughts | Orthodox magazine. Like, the Armed Forces of Ukraine set up a dirty barracks in an Orthodox church, “the holy altar is disgraced”.

They were not stopped by the fact that the video was signed by @Pravda_Herashchenko, that is, from the telegram channel of the adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs Anton Herashchenko.

On September 14, Anton Herashchenko was in Izium with a group of foreign journalists during the flag-raising with the participation of Volodymyr Zelenskyi. On September 15, on his telegram channel, he published a video from the temple near Izium.

“The Rashists have turned the temple in Izium into a pigsty hospital. Details: judging by the situation, the wounded were buried right here by their commanders. As usual with orcs, the church turned into a barn. Ukrainians do not even keep animals in such conditions. No one doubts that the “second army of the world” has come to us to fight against the civilian population, schools, hospitals and churches”, wrote Herashchenko.

On September 6, in the morning report of the General Staff, it was reported that the Russians use the Holy Trinity Church in the village of Mala Komyshuvakha as a field hospital.

On September 10, the Ukrainian military liberated Izium. Later, during an inspection of the temple, the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shocked the “military hospital” of Russian infidels in the Kharkiv region: “A putrid stench and complete unsanitary conditions”.

This is not the first time Russian propagandists have attributed to Ukrainian soldiers the mess that their army actually made. But before, at least they didn’t steal the video filmed during the inspection by the Ukrainian military of the territory liberated from the Russians.

This thesis is spread by propaganda media, in particular, it was voiced at the Permanent Mission of Russia to International Organizations in Vienna. The report says that the IAEA is an anti-Russian organization that panders to Ukraine and has shown its pro-Ukrainian nature in the resolution. However, this is not true.

According to Reuters, the text of the resolution states that the IAEA board calls on Russia to “immediately cease all actions against and in relation to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and any other nuclear facilities in Ukraine”. 26 countries voted for the approval of the resolution, two voted against (Russia and China). The resolution entered into force on September 15, 2022.

This thesis is circulating in the pro-Russian media, in particular, it was mentioned by the Russian Ambassador to the United States, Anatolii Antonov. He argues that significant successes on the Ukrainian fronts were achieved thanks to the participation of the Pentagon in developing a plan for the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a result, they say that the United States is another side in this war.

According to The New York Times, the Ukrainian side was really developing a plan for a counteroffensive with both Washington and London. However, the Armed Forces of Ukraine keep their military strategy and data on the state of the army in secret, so all parties were only consulting with each other.

Also, in the words of the publication, US Intelligence does not have the information about Ukrainian operations that it would really like. Washington even has a better idea of the Russian military, its planned operations, successes and failures.

Such messages are distributed by propaganda telegram channels, in particular MediaKiller. Such reports say that allegedly the United States will not grant Russia the status of a State Sponsor of Terrorism as because of this Washington will lose a number of privileges. In particular, this will lead to a rupture of diplomatic relations with Russia and will reduce the influence of the United States in the international arena. However, this is manipulation.

Indeed, according to Reuters, the US Senate recently introduced legislation that could recognize Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. “The need for this action is more urgent than ever before”, said one of the authors of the bill, Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal. Washington is not afraid to take such decisive action, and even more so actively supports Ukraine in the fight in the war unleashed by Russia.

Previously, it was indeed said that Russia should not be given such a status. The Biden administration did not comment further on the decision.

Thus, Russia wants to show its power and world support, as if the United States does not recognize it as a terrorist state because this will only make it worse. Like, it is not profitable for anyone to quarrel with Russia.

Such information was massively distributed on social networks. In particular, Whatsapp. A voice message circulating on the messenger said that Ukrainians are social scammers because they come to Germany on Flixbus, receive a Hartz IV payout, sometimes even without a registered address, and immediately return to Ukraine. The message also added that the authorities of the country tolerate all the falsifications carried out by the Ukrainians because they have such an instruction to do so.

However, as the analysts of the Corrective project write, there is no confirmation that such cases of fraud were actually recorded. Analysts asked Flixbus, the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (BMAS) and the Employment Agency if they were aware of alleged massive cases of so-called social fraud by Ukrainians. However, none of the authorities interviewed were able to confirm the story or had evidence of such incidents.

Indeed, in order to receive the Hartz IV social payment, you need to have a legal address in Germany. This is exactly the payment that the unemployed in Germany will receive; people with no income; those who cannot live on their income. The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs says that only those people who have a registered address and are permanently located in Germany can receive a Hartz IV.

This thesis is spread by Russian propaganda. According to the Center for Counteracting Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council, propagandists present their own disinformation interpretation of Clark's words as a fait accompli. In particular, they claim that he seemed to have "cooled the ardor of Ukrainians" against the background of the successful de-occupation of the territory in the Kharkiv region. Like, the former NATO Secretary General recognizes the high competence of the Russian army, which detracts from the joy of the Ukrainians.

However, Clark did not belittle Ukraine's achievements or claim that the Russian army is stronger. As the Center writes, in fact, Wesley Clark's rhetoric has remained unchanged since February 24, 2022. According to him, the only way to end the war in Ukraine is to defeat Russia. Clark is simply convinced that "you shouldn’t underestimate the enemy" as Ukraine continues to fight. However, Russian propaganda uses information manipulation to form new messages about the invincibility of the Russian army against the background of Russia's retreat under pressure from the armed forces of Ukraine. Propagandists seek to downplay the successes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, demonstrating that, despite the de-occupation, Western experts, including the NATO military, consider the Russian army to be more powerful.

This message is spreading in pro-Russian anonymous telegram channels.

To promote the message, they use quotes from a Russian scientist who believes that in order for the West to stop providing weapons to Ukraine, Russia must demonstrate “nuclear power and nuclear deterrence.” The main attention supposedly should be given to intimidation of states that have common borders with Russia - Poland, the Baltic countries, Romania and Bulgaria. According to the Russians, "the fear of a devastating nuclear retaliation must be constantly present in the opinions of the leaders of NATO states." Propagandists justify the use of brute force as a determining factor in international relations.

Russian media spread the image of the restaurant's alleged billboard, where a Japanese sushi chef covers the mouth of a Ukrainian woman with the call: "Let's change the subject - let's talk about delicious sushi."

The Center for Combating Disinformation at the National Security Council together with the Embassy of Ukraine in Japan turned to the Sushinomidori company management for an explanation regarding the provocative billboard.

The refutation of the fake appeared on the official website.

The company said it does not support discrimination against any country or nationality, and the image shared is not related to it.

Russian propagandists launch such messages to say that the situation in Ukraine is no longer of interest to anyone in the world, people want to live an ordinary life and are ready to silence Ukrainians who will try to prevent them with their protests, etc.

This information was spread by the Russian media. Allegedly, as a result of the conflict, 9 civilians were injured. The Center for Combating Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine reports that this is a fake.

Russian propagandists write about this with reference to Western media. Apparently, Ukraine does not expect to receive a sufficient amount of foreign weapons, and therefore does not have the opportunity and does not plan counterattacks on any part of the front. As evidence, the Kremlin media manipulates the materials of the Western media. But, it is not so.

Russian media write about this. Like, in any tragedy that takes place in Ukraine, the West always unjustifiably blames Russia. But, in this case, American weapons were allegedly used, so the Western press keeps silent. It is not true. Fact-checkers of the StopFake project checked the reaction of the Western press to the events in Olenivka. In particular, publications such as CNN, The New York Times, Guardian, AFP, Le Monde, Il Fatto Quotidiano, and others quoted the representative of the European Union for foreign affairs and security policy, Josep Borrell. He said the EU condemns the atrocities committed by the Russian military, which are "inhumane, barbaric acts and seriously violate the Geneva Convention". The European versions of Politico published the words of French President Emmanuel Macron that France would support the investigation of the events in Olenivka and would seek to hold Russia accountable for the mass murder of prisoners of war. Information about the involvement of the International Committee of the Red Cross in the investigation in Olenivka was covered by Reuters, The New York Times, and Deutsche Welle. Materials on the killing of Ukrainian prisoners of war were published by The Guardian and CNN. Therefore, the report of the Russian media about the "silence of the West", which allegedly confirms the Ukrainians’ guilt, is false. Earlier, propagandists were convinced that the US justified the Ukrainian strike on Olenivka, using a distorted quote from a Pentagon representative. In this way, Russia tries to hide its crime. 

According to the wife of the President of Ireland, the Kremlin media write that "the conflict in Ukraine will continue until Moscow and Kyiv agree on a ceasefire." Through the ex-chancellor of Germany, Gerhard Schröder, the Kremlin is trying to inform Western society that Russia is ready to sit down at the negotiating table. This is manipulation.

According to the Center for Combating Disinformation, representatives of the Russian Foreign Ministry said this at the UN conference. Allegedly, as a result of such actions against Russia, the situation in world strategic stability is rapidly deteriorating.
