The Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War is collecting and analysing data published by Russian propagandists that there may have been Ukrainian prisoners of war on board the IL-76 aircraft that crashed in the Belgorod Region.
Until official statements or comments are made public by authorised persons or bodies, the headquarters called on the media and citizens to refrain from spreading unverified information. The headquarters asks to trust only official sources.
"We emphasise that the enemy is actively conducting information special operations against Ukraine aimed at destabilising Ukrainian society. We ask you to be responsible for the spreading of sensitive information and use only official sources," the statement said.
