Russian disinfo review: 'Ukrainian Armed Forces prepare false flag op in Slovyansk, grain is exported from Kharkiv region by arrangement'

The Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security Council shared the review.

According to Ganchev, a collaborator-'head' of the temporarily occupied territories of the Kharkiv region, the Russian-stolen grain is exported from the Kharkiv region only on the basis of contracts. Farmers agree on the sale with traders, and the temporary administration controls these processes."

In addition, the Russian mass media spread fake stories that "whole boxes of ready-made Molotov cocktails were found at the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the glass factory in Lysychansk." Pro-Putin media assures that "according to residents, Ukrainian nationalists planned to burn the entire infrastructure of the city during the retreat."

In addition, the Russian Defense Ministry claims that "Ukrainian nationalists are preparing another provocation in Slovyansk to accuse the Russian Armed Forces of striking civilian objects."

Russian forces claim that for this purpose, the building of the agrarian lyceum supposedly "holds civilians," and the building itself "is mined and is planned to be blown up during Russian artillery strikes on the city's facilities."
