On July 28, Russian authorities and propagandists began to spread a number of new fakes about events in Ukraine on social networks.. In particular, the Russians are spreading rumors that the Armed Forces of Ukraine mined the dam in Bakhmut, in order to later blame the Russian Federation for blowing up the facility.. It is reported by the Center for Counteracting Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council..

According to the JRC, on July 28, the occupiers launched three false narratives into the information space. About the mining of the dam in Bakhmut, about our own losses in the war against Ukraine and about the location of the terrorist defense units in the industrial school of the Dnieper. More about them below:.

Disinformation: The Russian Defense Ministry said: “In Bakhmut, Donetsk region, militants of the Ukrainian armed formations mined the dam of the city reservoir, which they plan to blow up to accuse the Russian military of allegedly indiscriminate strikes on hydrodynamically dangerous objects with wide media coverage”;

Disinformation: Russian Presidential Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that “the inhabitants of the liberated territories of Ukraine will decide for themselves what the future of their regions will be, and the assessment of the American newspaper about the losses of the Russian army during the war in Ukraine in the amount of 70-75 thousand people is a gross fake”;

Disinformation: The Russian Ministry of Defense stated: “Territorial defense units are deployed on the territory of the industrial school in Dnipro, ammunition depots are equipped, while the evacuation of residents from nearby houses was deliberately not carried out.

The JRC emphasizes that all of the above is not true and is intended to discredit Ukrainians and Ukrainian authorities in the eyes of the civilized world..
