“Ukraine plots terror attacks on Russian schools”: Russian fakes for June 10

This was reported by Espreso TV.

According to the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, on June 10, Russian propaganda launched a large disinformation and 2 fakes. 

Fake: The Russian Telegram channel “Actually in Kyiv” posted a video with the following message: "An unknown person threw a grenade at the facade of a residential building in Kyiv. According to sources, the head of one of the departments of the local military draft office lives in one of the entrances of the building. Most likely, he was intended to receive a warm greeting from the draft dodgers."

Refutation: An unsuccessful attempt by the Russians to make wishful thinking, as the motive for the crime was a domestic conflict.

Disinformation: Commenting on an article by defense and security analyst Nicholas Drummond for the Daily Express, Sheikh Tamir Telegram channel wrote: “Ukraine is planning terrorist activities in which Russian schools and other civilian infrastructure will be attacked.”

Refutation: The Ukrainian military destroys only enemy personnel and military infrastructure, not schools. Such messages are spread to demonize the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Fake: Advisor to the former so-called head of the Donetsk People's Republic Kazakov said: "There is confirmed information that a new direction is emerging on the battlefields in Sumy region. The village of Ryzhivka was liberated".

Refutation: This is fake news that was denied by local authorities and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
