Propagandists’ Fake About an Alleged Ukrainian Provocation in Mykolaiv Aimed at Derailing the Agreement
Enemy propaganda is spreading a fake about an alleged provocation being prepared by Ukrainian forces in Mykolaiv to derail the agreement on halting strikes against energy facilities and to shift the blame onto russia.
▫️ Propagandists claim that special groups have allegedly been set up in the city to prepare this operation, and that large quantities of debris from russian “Shahed”-type drones and explosives are being brought in.
Such reports may indicate that russia itself is preparing provocations and strikes on the city. This is a classic example of the enemy using an “information alibi” tactic to justify its own actions. ru-propaganda is preemptively accusing Ukraine of actions that will in fact be carried out by russia.
