Russians may launch missile strikes on Ukraine in the coming days. This threat arises following the destruction of A-50 and Il-22 aircraft, reports the Center for Countering Disinformation on Facebook.
As noted by the Center, after the destruction of the A-50 and Il-22 aircraft, Russian propagandists may launch an information campaign with threats of "retaliatory strikes." The main goal of such statements is to intimidate Ukrainians and undermine morale.
"In the coming days, the Center also predicts missile strikes. Therefore, be responsive to air raid signals," the Center for Countering Disinformation specifies.
