Reports of an alleged “breakthrough” of the border by the Russian regular army in the north of Chernihiv region began to circulate online. However, this turned out to be another fake. This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" with reference to the Center for Countering Disinformation.
According to the Center, statements about an alleged “breakthrough” in the Chernihiv region are being actively spread online. These messages end with calls to follow the link for more information.
However, this content is a classic example of advertising that uses fake news or provocative headlines to attract attention and increase the number of clicks on links.
“No attempts to “break through” the border within Chernihiv region were recorded. Instead, there is a threat of shelling from the Russian Federation, in particular with the use of aircraft, and the threat of continued enemy sabotage activities,” said Andriy Demchenko, spokesman for the State Border Guard Service, in a comment to the Center.
According to Pavlo Miroshnychenko, head of Koryukivka district military administration, there were no attempts to “break through” the border in his district.
