Today, messages about the threat of a serious Russian attack have been circulating in Ukraine. Such panic messages only help Russia, stated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
He reminded that since the beginning of the full-scale war, Ukraine has endured many brutal and vile attacks by Russia. Therefore, it is important to always take air raid alerts seriously.
According to Zelenskyy, Ukraine has a mad neighbor, that remains the same on February 24 and on the thousandth day of the war.
“The information hysteria we saw today, the panic-driven messages being forwarded - all this only helps Russia,” the President emphasized.
He urged Ukrainians to ensure that no one can exploit their emotions for personal gain.
Embassy warnings and online reports
Earlier today, November 20, the US Embassy warned of a potential "serious attack" on Ukraine and temporarily suspended its operations.
Several other embassies also suspended their work today for the same reason as the US Embassy.
Following this, reports surfaced online claiming that Russia is allegedly preparing to launch an experimental RS-26 Rubezh ballistic missile.
Telegram channels also spread rumors about Russia's plans to launch an "especially massive" strike on Ukraine as early as today, November 20. These claims were debunked by the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine.
