The Center for Countering Disinformation (TSPD) states that Russian media are spreading another fake about Ukraine allegedly preparing "provocations" involving hazardous substances in the combat zone in the Donetsk region.
According to the TsPD, Russian propaganda outlets are publishing reports about "placing toxic substances in water and food," disguised as supplies of Russian-made provisions.

The Center emphasized that such information is false and represents a typical example of information manipulation aimed at shifting responsibility for possible consequences onto Ukraine’s defense forces.
"These reports have nothing to do with reality and are a typical example of manipulations intended to justify Russia’s aggressive actions and create an informational alibi for its own war crimes," the agency’s statement reads.
Russian propaganda is spreading a fake about an alleged "Banderite" mobilization poster in Ukraine. The Center for Countering Disinformation has debunked these manipulations.
The photo in question was actively discussed as far back as last year, but it has no connection to official institutions or mobilization campaigns.
