Pro-Russian telegram channels write about this after massive rocket attacks on November 15, 2022. They say that more than 90 missiles were fired in Ukraine, of which 70 were shot down. In total, they hit 15 energy infrastructure facilities.

In fact, Russian propaganda uses several manipulations at once. In order to achieve mass defeats, Russia has to produce several times more missiles. Therefore, all missiles fired are “counted”, and not just those that hit the target. Indeed, some regions, but not all of Ukraine, remained without electricity, water and heat supply.

Deliberate targeted attack on the civilian population or individual civilians who do not participate in hostilities and deliberate attack on civilian objects are war crimes. By spreading such messages, Russian propaganda indirectly confirms that the Russian army is deliberately committing war crimes and deliberately destroying critical infrastructure.
