Russia circulates fake letter on Ukrainian government evacuation

The latest fake, spread by Russian propagandists, has been debunked by the Center for Counteracting Disinformation.

According to the Center for Counteracting Disinformation, the document is completely fabricated. It allegedly states that the Prime Minister ordered central executive authorities to prepare premises in western Ukraine for a possible relocation, reduce ministry staff by 10% due to the loss of positions in occupied areas, and send lists of dismissed employees of mobilization age to recruitment centers by the 25th of the month.

The Center confirmed that no such letter exists. It was never registered in the Cabinet of Ministers’ Department of Document Flow, as required. The fake is further exposed by numerous spelling errors.

"Similar information operations are being carried out by the enemy to sow panic in society and destabilize the situation in Ukraine's regions. Do not fall for information manipulation and trust only official sources," the Center for Counteracting Disinformation added.

• The Center for Counteracting Disinformation also debunked the Russian fake about the alleged mobilization of Moldovan citizens in Odesa.
