The enemy is spreading disinformation claiming that it has "taken control" of the village of Huliaipilske in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region. These claims are false and are part of an information and psychological operation.
The spokesperson for the Southern Defense Forces, Vladyslav Voloshyn, stated this in a comment to Ukrinform.
He assured that Ukraine's Defense Forces continue to carry out their mission of repelling Russian aggression and maintain control over Huliaipilske.
"Recorded cases of individual groups of occupiers infiltrating the settlement were purely demonstrative in nature and aimed at producing staged videos featuring the raising of flags. Such actions are part of information and psychological operations primarily targeted at the domestic audience in Russia," Voloshyn emphasized.
