Russian propaganda is spreading yet another fake about the alleged use of chemical weapons by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Propagandists are trying to accuse Ukrainian troops of using toxic substances against civilians in Pokrovsk. The spread of this fake was recorded by the Center for Countering Disinformation.

The CCD reports that a so-called “military expert”, Andriy Marochko, claimed that Ukrainian drones allegedly “sprayed a substance used to control rodents”, which, according to him, caused civilian deaths. However, this statement is a complete fabrication and yet another attempt to discredit the Ukrainian military.
