Russia spreads fake news that Ukraine stockpiles arms at nuclear power plants

This was reported on the agency's website, according to Espreso.

"False: The defense forces are stockpiling HIMARS, SCALP, Storm Shadow missiles, various kamikaze UAVs, and depleted uranium ammunition at Khmelnytskyi and Rivne NPPs in western Ukraine and in the surrounding regions. This information is being spread by social media users," the statement said.

The Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security noted that, in fact, on September 22, a week after the first reports of weapons at the plants, the International Atomic Energy Agency published a report stating that experts had not seen any violations at the plants by the Ukrainian army or anyone else.

"The only weapon found by IAEA experts was spotted at the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, StopFake journalists noted," the government organization said.

• Earlier, the Center for Countering Disinformation debunked another fake by Russian propagandists about the transfer of Lviv to Poland in exchange for aid.

• Russian resources are spreading a bogus story by the French TV channel CNews, alleging that Ukrainian refugees were evicted from the shelter for the sake of African illegal migrants
