Information about this spread in social networks, they say President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine was planning a war with Russia, so Kiev had to prepare for it in advance. Such reports quote Zelensky's interview with the BBC, published on April 15. However, this is not true. As StopFake fact checkers write, Zelenskyy's words were taken out of context: he did not say that Ukraine had started a conflict with Russia. The interview said that Ukraine was preparing for a Russian invasion. More details.
