Russia is considering blowing up ammonia stockpiles in the Kharkiv region and laying the blame on the Ukrainian Armed Forces, warned the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) on Telegram.
“According to our data, options for committing other provocations are being considered. But, disrespectful invaders, no matter what story you invent, no one will believe you - not Ukrainians, not the entire civilized world, and not even your own compatriots,” the statement said.
The SSU added that Russia’s defense ministry was spreading false rumours, including the inaccurate news that there were no civilians in the Mariupol maternity hospital that was shelled by Russia yesterday. Russia also made false claims that Ukraine had biological weapons and labs where biological research was conducted on bats. Russia is spreading misinformation and lies in an attempt to accuse Ukraine of alleged violations.
