In the absence of real success on the front, Russia is trying to destabilize the internal situation in Ukraine with fakes, propaganda and panic. Propaganda media deceive Russian audience and residents of the temporarily occupied territories with fabrications about the aggressor’s ‘victory’.

The SSU monitors the information space and exposes collaborators who help the occupiers. Over the past 24 hours (March 20), the SSU carried out the following operations.

In Luhansk region:

The SSU is investigating the actions of Ivan Filiponenko, a representative of the ‘press service’ of an armed group of the so-called LNR, who publicly announced that Rubizhne surrendered to occupiers.

The propagandist filmed the illegal actions of capturing the City Council building by the occupying troops and spread this video in Russian media.

In less than a day, Ukrainian troops drove the invaders out of downtown Rubizhne.

The punishment for this collaborator is a matter of time, not a long time.

In Dnipropetrovsk region:

The SSU detained a pro-Russian agitator who was distributing pro-Kremlin fakes in media and social networks. He posed as a ‘journalist’ and published articles justifying and supporting the actions of Russia.

Russian supervisors engaged him in intelligence activities: to collect data on defence capabilities of Kyiv and Dnipro, movement and location of units and equipment of the Armed Forces, air defence systems, etc.

In Volyn region:

The SSU special purpose unit detained a Belarusian citizen who was gathering information for the enemy on the location and movement of Ukrainian military equipment and the state of mobilization in the region.

The man was recruited by the enemy’s special services during one of his trips to Belarus.

In Kirovohrad region:

The SSU exposed a Ukrainian who openly supported a large-scale Russian invasion, expressed a pro-Russian position and disrespect for Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The man, under the disguise of an internally displaced person, fled from Kharkiv and ‘laid low’ in Kirovohrad region. On social media, he publicly campaigned for Putin’s army and wanted to personally take part in the armed aggression against Ukraine.

All collaborators have been detained and will be brought to responsibility for their actions.

Glory to Ukraine!
