Oksana Torop, media advisor to Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK Valery Zaluzhny, said that the Telegram channel “Zaluzhny’s Headquarters” has no connection to him and spreads false information.
She reported this on Facebook, according to "Komersant Ukrainian".
According to her, representatives of reputable media outlets have repeatedly asked her about the authenticity of this channel, and she has always replied that it is fake. After that, Torop notes, these media outlets do not disseminate information from this source.
At the same time, she says, popular channels on Telegram continue to regularly spread false reports. Torop emphasized that it is not difficult to contact her — her phone number is public, and she responds to inquiries, including on social media.
“But why ask when the goal is to discredit? It’s convenient to spread fake news, get money or reservations,” she said.
Torop also stressed that the people behind the creation and maintenance of such channels receive funding for this. In her opinion, it would be more appropriate to direct these funds to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine or to purchase generators for schools and kindergartens.
She called on journalists and users to verify information and seek comments directly so as not to become a tool for spreading disinformation.
