A fake about a kindergarten in Kharkiv being hit by air defense is spreading online
Hostile resources have stated that in Kharkiv, the Armed Forces of Ukraine allegedly shot down a Geran UAV that crashed near a kindergarten.
In fact, this is an attempt to shift responsibility for another crime from the Russian army.
According to the mayor of Kharkiv, Igor Terekhov, a UAV hit a private kindergarten in the Kholodnohirsky district. As a result of the strike, one person died and seven others were injured.
“Shifting responsibility to Ukraine and the work of air defense is a typical technique of Russian propagandists who systematically try to justify the Russian Federation’s strikes on civilian objects,” the Central Military Commission emphasizes.
As a reminder, due to the Russian shelling, blackout schedules are being introduced in Ukraine today . These are emergency and emergency blackouts.
