She said this on Espreso.

"The enemy is spreading false information to justify its attack on the civilian population of the left bank of the Dnipro.

Humeniuk emphasized that the enemy is attempting to provoke the Defense Forces to reveal their plans and capabilities.

"The enemy wants to provoke us into revealing the direction of our forces. We will launch a counteroffensive, and active operations will take place, but the enemy cannot predict the direction," stressed Humeniuk.
