Маніпуляція Physical cleanse of pro-Russian people is of necessity in Ukraine, Mykhailo Podoliak said
Such a message appeared in the Russian propaganda media and was distributed in the Russian segment of Facebook. A fragment of an interview was published where an adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podoliak stated that the alleged physical destruction of all pro-Russian people would solve the Russian issue. This is manipulation.
According to MythDetector analysts, Mykhailo Podoliak did not talk about the physical destruction of pro-Russian people. On March 31, on the air of Channel 24, he spoke about the influence of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, which, according to him, is a branch of the Russian Patriarchate. And the task of the Russian Patriarchate is to attack the Ukrainian state. Podoliak notes that in the first months of a full-scale war, the UOC-MP could be physically cleansed of the pro-Russian clergy.
Thus, propagandists are trying to discredit the Ukrainian authorities and intimidate Ukrainians. Earlier, Detector Media wrote about how Russian propaganda uses intimidation tactics.
