Russian telegram channels are spreading information that Russian military personnel crossed the border with the Chernihiv region and installed a Russian flag on the bridge over the Sudist River near the village of Hremiach.

However, this information is not true. This was reported to the Center for Counteracting Disinformation by the representative of the State Tax Service of Ukraine Andrii Demchenko:

“There was no breach of the border. The Russian tricolor was installed on the destroyed bridge near the border, but the saboteurs did not enter the territory of populated areas. The area is under the control of Ukrainian forces and additional units are providing anti-sabotage defense”.

Also, the head of the Center for Counteracting Disinformation, the officer of the Defense Forces Andrii Kovalenko wrote on his telegram channel that there is no threat of Russian invasion of Chernihiv region, there is only a limited threat of sabotage and reconnaissance groups. He also added that “the story about Hremiach is false and is exclusively an information operation of the enemy”.

Earlier, we refuted the information that Polish politicians “flaunted” the Russian flag in the Vatican.
