According to the State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection, Russian propagandists are spreading information that people in Novaya Kakhovka, Kherson Oblast, are going to rallies "for Russia. According to the department, Russian propaganda is trying to create the illusion of support for the Kafirs by the citizens of Ukraine. "To the showy handouts of humanitarian aid and interviews with paid actors talking about the horrors of the Ukrainian authorities are now being added to the paid rallies. In contrast to the rallies of real Kherson Oblast residents, participants in the so-called pro-Russian rally are few in number, look confused, and show little enthusiasm. Next time the Russians will hire more protesters and put on music so they won't be bored," the State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection reported. It should be noted that in Russian-occupied cities, Ukrainians fight back and come out to mass pro-Ukrainian rallies. There have been cases when the Russian military reacted aggressively to protests and opened fire on civilians. In particular, this happened in Kakhovka in early April.
