According to the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, on August 29, the Russians launched three major deceptions.

Manipulation: Putin's spokesman D. Peskov said that "Kyiv is doing everything possible and impossible to draw the West into a conflict with Moscow as deeply as possible." 

Fake: The pro-Russian telegram channel "Resident" writes: "200,000 Ukrainians are to be drafted into the Armed Forces in the fall, and another 300,000 in the winter and spring."

Manipulation: "This is not a secret. That's why we call this policy Russophobia and its Western ideologues unfriendly regimes," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman M. Zakharova commented on Mykhailo Podolyak's statement that partner countries support Kyiv in "destroying everything Russian in the occupied territories," including strikes on Crimea.
