The Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council refutes the claims of russian propagandists that Ukraine is preparing a "provocation to start World War III".
"Against the backdrop of drone incidents in various European countries, Russian propaganda is spreading a fake about Ukraine allegedly preparing a "provocation to start World War III", the CCD said in a message on the Telegram channel on Saturday.
It is reported that the official representative of the russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, referring to fictional "sources" in the Hungarian media, stated that Kyiv is allegedly preparing an operation "under a foreign flag" in Poland and Romania. According to her, "repaired Russian Geran drones" will be used for the provocation.
"The enemy is once again trying to create an "information alibi" for its crimes. "Such statements may be a sign of Russia preparing new provocations using drones in European countries with further attempts to blame Ukraine for this," the CCD stressed. "By spreading such disinformation, Russia is trying to intimidate Europeans with a "Third World War", discredit Ukraine before its NATO partners, and absolve itself of responsibility for its own aggressive behavior," the CCD believes.
