Russia is spreading fake news about an attack on a convoy of grain trucks in the Sumy region, claiming it was military equipment heading to Sudzha in the Kursk region, according to the Prosecutor's Office of Sumy region.

“The enemy is spreading information on its platforms about the alleged elimination of a convoy of military vehicles that were heading to Suzha,” the statement said.

The Prosecutor's Office notes that the photo of the Russian strike on the grain truck convoy clearly shows that the trucks were waiting to load soybeans and were parked near the field.
