Fake about a supposed Russian “cleansing operation” in Kostyantynivka
Claims that russian forces “cleansed” the center of Kostyantynivka are fake.
Pro-russian Telegram channels, citing a russian lieutenant general, are spreading claims that russian troops are allegedly conducting a clearing operation in the central part of Kostyantynivka, Donetsk region.
In reality, this is a fake — debunked by the General Staff, which published video footage directly from the city featuring the commander of the 19th Army Corps, Oleksandr Bakulin.
russian propagandists spread such falsehoods to demoralize the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
