DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: Ukraine is about to start a war against Russia to get back Crimea

SUMMARY

The pretext used by Kyiv for an offensive operation against Russia will be to counter a Russian attack against the region of Kherson to control the water supply from the Dniepr river. It will be a lot of human loss: many soldiers and civilians will perish. Rear-Admiral Alexeï Neijpapa declared that on Monday, July 6. Shortly after the publication of the interview on a Ukrainian media a US destroyer left the black sea.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Ukraine. Pro-Kremlin media distorted the statement of the commander of the Naval Forces of Ukraine, Oleksiy Neizhpapa, that the Ukrainian military is strengthening its defensive positions in the coastal cities. The Commander of the Naval Forces of Ukraine does not exclude the possibility that Russian troops will try to break out of the occupied Crimea into a neighbouring Ukrainian region, Kherson. That is why Ukraine continues to strengthen its positions in the area. Read similar Disinfo: Ukraine is going to launch a missile strike on Russia.
