Ukraine debunks Russian fake about Ukrainian brigade 'abandoning positions' in Kursk

Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation reported that Russian propaganda circulated false claims about Ukrainian troops supposedly disobeying orders near Oleshnya in the Kursk region. 

After verifying the information, the communications center of the Kursk military group confirmed that the report was a fake spread by Russian propaganda.

The Center stressed that the goal of this disinformation campaign is to discredit the Armed Forces of Ukraine and create an illusion of disorganization within the Ukrainian army.

"Such fabrications are intended to sow distrust toward Ukraine’s defenders," the statement added.

• Russian propaganda is circulating false claims that over 4,000 so-called “foreign mercenaries” fighting for Ukraine have been killed in combat in the Kursk region.
