Russian disinformation: Debunking claims about Ukrainian civil servants' pre-offensive "evacuation" from Kherson

Russia is behind false reports circulating on the Internet claiming that Ukrainian civil servants fled Kherson ahead of a new offensive by Russian forces

This disinformation campaign has been uncovered by the Center for Countering Disinformation.

The Center underscored that Russia is actively engaging in a disinformation effort regarding the situation in southern Ukraine.

"The information suggesting the evacuation of civil servants from Kherson before a 'Russian offensive' is baseless," clarified the Center.

According to the Center, these claims are Russian fabrications intended to instigate panic. Notably, the Center highlighted that Russia lacks the resources required for an assault on Kherson.

  • Russian President Vladimir Putin asserted that Western nations have been instigating conflicts in several countries, selecting targets for intervention.
