Russian propaganda describes today’s missile attack on Kyiv as ‘staged’

Russian propagandists are describing today’s missile attack on the residential areas of Kyiv as ‘staged’, as they cannot justify them.

The relevant statement was made by the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) at the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) on Telegram, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Russian ‘journalists’ are describing today’s missile strike on the apartment block in Kyiv as ‘intentionally staged by the Kyiv regime to create the right image for the West in order to request more weapons’,” the report states.

According to the CCD, Russian ‘military reporters’ and propagandists follow a well-organized scheme: propagandists report on the future shelling of a certain position by the Ukrainian military; Russian troops fire at this position in a week or so; Russian ‘military reporters’ and ‘journalists’ write articles and film video materials, referring to their previous reports on the upcoming strikes.

At the same time, rashists call anything that they cannot explain logically as ‘staged’.

The CCD stressed that the enemy is well prepared and had been brainwashing the Russian people for many years.

A reminder that, in the morning of June 26, 2022, the Russian military launched missile strikes on Kyiv’s Shevchenkivskyi District. A 9-storey apartment block was hit with the Russian missile. One civilian was killed and six injured. Four of them, including a 7-year-old girl, were taken to hospital.
