Russian propaganda is spreading an old fake about an alleged "mobilization poster" in Ukraine with the symbols of the SS "Galicia" and a mention of Stepan Bandera. This is reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD).
We are talking about a photo that was actively distributed last year. However, the CCD emphasized that this poster has no relation to official structures or mobilization campaigns.

"This fake is part of the standard arsenal of russian disinformation aimed at demonizing Ukraine through speculation on a historical topic and symbolism. The purpose of such postings is to form false ideas about Ukrainian society, justifying russian aggression with pseudo-historical "arguments"," the CCD noted.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, recently the aggressor country of russia launched a new information campaign aimed at disrupting mobilization in Ukraine. Hostile Telegram channels have spread a bot through which one can send the coordinates of the buildings of territorial recruitment and social support centers. Among other things, the CCD warned that such bots are another way for hostile propagandists to collect personal information about people for the purpose of further pressure and blackmail.
