The Russians use their mass propaganda to spread fakes and misinformation in order to gain an advantage on the information front.
Russian propagandists are spreading information that there are units of the Ukrainian military in the emergency and medical care hospital in Zaporozhye. In addition, “firing positions” are located in the nearby territories – in Victory Park.
This was reported in the press service of the Zaporozhye Regional Military Administration.
The occupiers also disseminate information that “the leadership of the city of Zaporozhye reduced the salaries of public utilities and sent the rest of the funds for military needs.” “Of course, we are not talking about reducing wages and even social benefits. The Ukrainian government adheres to all its promises and obligations,” the RSA said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the Melitopol occupational channels are convinced that the alleged Ukrainian authorities are spreading rumors that entry into Crimea is closed so that residents of the occupied territories cannot travel to the peninsula. The Regional State Administration notes that the Ukrainian authorities did not close the border with the Russian-annexed Crimea and never restricted the movement of Ukrainians.
As reported, the US Department of Defense believes that the city of Mariupol cannot be considered occupied, since Russian troops continue to shell it. Part of the Russian troops retreated from the blocked Mariupol and is moving in a north-western direction – to the Zaporozhye region.
