CCD refutes new Russian fakes about Azovstal, Mykolaiv and sanctions

The relevant statement was made by the CCD on Telegram, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

According to the data from the CCD, Russia’s Defense Ministry warned that “Ukrainian Mykolaiv may be declared the zone of an epidemiological catastrophe: amid the challenging humanitarian situation, municipal services are not working there, and the centralized water supply has been cut off”.

The CCD warns that such theses of Russians are not true.

In addition, the statement by the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Washington that “US sanctions are becoming increasingly absurd and indicate Washington’s inability to subjugate Russia to its will” is a manipulation.

The message shared by the Russian media, citing Ramzan Kadyrov and claiming that “the Russian Armed Forces will gain full control over Mariupol’s Azovstal on Thursday”, as well as statements that “militants who are staying at the metallurgical plant can still lay down their arms and surrender in the morning” are another manipulation attempt.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the Russian propaganda has created a new fake about the call centre of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that will allegedly spread fake messages about bomb threats at Russian civil infrastructure facilities.
