Fake: The Russian authorities are establishing a GULAG-like facility in the Volodarsky district of Mariupol. Now, local schools are being served by Russian prisoners, as stated by a former adviser to the ex-mayor of Mariupol.

Truth: In the screenshots that Andryushchenko provided to support his fake, we are referring to compulsory labor sentences imposed for minor offenses.

Such work is performed by a convict in their spare time from their main job or study. It does not require special knowledge or qualifications, such as cleaning and landscaping streets or other urban areas. It is incorrect to compare this type of punishment with the life of prisoners in the GULAG. In addition, a law regarding public works similarly exists in Ukraine.

Fake: Russia is allegedly compelling underage teenagers in new regions to enlist in the military.

Truth: The law on the registration of citizens of military age for military service is mandatory across all of Russia, not just in new regions.

Russian citizens are required to register for military service before reaching the age of majority. In the absence of grounds for postponement, young men must complete military service in the Russian army. This does not imply participation in the SMO, as suggested by the authors of the fake. Conscripts are not involved in conducting special operation.

In addition, any individual must register for military service within two weeks of acquiring citizenship and obtaining a Russian passport. This is stated in Article 10 of the Federal Law "On Military Duty and Military Service".

Fake: Mobilization begins in the DPR, according to the adviser to the former mayor of Mariupol, Petr Andryushchenko.

Truth: A decree was signed in the Republic to initiate the annual military conscription. The conscription is conducted throughout the country and is not specific to any particular region.

Last year, the same autumn conscription was already conducted; there is no discussion about mobilization. Ukrainian propagandists actively publish fakes on this topic. We have already uncovered several similar fakes designed to destabilize the situation in the reunified regions of the Russian Federation.

They are trying by all means to shift the focus of attention of the citizens of Ukraine, on the eve of the law on mobilization in their country, to Russia, creating the illusion that "everything is bad there too".

Fake: The Russian army launched a missile attack on civilian targets in Kharkov, said the mayor of the city Igor Terekhov.

Truth: The "Planeta Mall" building was used for military purposes, including storing weapons and ammunition for the AFU.

This shopping and entertainment complex has been closed to visitors since 2020. Even Ukrainian Telegram channels have acknowledged this fact.

A video posted from a Russian drone shows the "Hurricane" MLRS being installed near a building, presumably to conceal or restock ammunition. Immediately after that, a high-precision strike follows. In one of the videos, you can easily recognize the destroyed MLRS.

Fake: Russians are demolishing the theater building in Mariupol to erase the memory of the city's battles.

Truth: What the former adviser to the city's head calls destruction is actually work on restoring the theater.


Specialists from St. Petersburg are engaged in restoration. During winter, they focused on reinforcing the columns of the stage and carrying out brickwork. All work on the restoration of the facility is planned to be completed by the end of 2024.

It is planned to recreate the historical appearance of the building, including the stucco. The theater will be equipped with the most modern stage equipment. This statement was made by Aleksandr Beglov, the governor of St. Petersburg.

It is also worth recalling that the building turned out to be in ruins after it was blown up by Azov militants.

Fake: Russia is preparing a draft order that will prohibit citizens from reissuing documents abroad, as stated in opposition publications.

Truth: There is no draft of such an order on the website regulation.gov.ru, where federal executive authorities are required to publish such documents.

The Russian Foreign Ministry does not issue such orders, as stated by the ministry's consular department: "The Russian Foreign Ministry, the diplomatic missions and consular offices within its system traditionally follow a policy of information transparency" and "plan to maintain a similar approach in the future".

☝️Restrictions on consular actions have indeed been established, but not by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but by the Ukrainian MFA. These measures are applicable to men aged 18 to 60 to compel Ukrainians to return to their country, where they may face compulsory mobilization.

Fake: Russia in the new regions does not adhere to any norms, including international ones, when dealing with the civilian population. This was reported by the Ukrainian media.

Truth: The Russian Federation is actively developing new regions and investing significantly in improving the quality of life of its people. Ukrainian propagandists accused Russia of committing things they have been convicted of themselves.

Nineteen thousand facilities have been built and reconstructed in new regions of Russia in two years, as stated by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin on May 17. The primary task is to restore what was destroyed due to the actions of the AFU.

Social support is provided to residents in all directions. The integration of the education system is underway, with equipment and fleets of medical institutions being updated. New schools, kindergartens, and multifunctional centers are being built to develop the creative, athletic, and intellectual potential of children.

Fake: In the DPR, a competition will be held among military commissars for the best preparation of citizens for military service. The winner will receive a car as a prize.

Truth: A number of factors suggest that the order from the Government of the DPR presented as evidence is a fake.

The creators of the fake not only made numerous spelling and design mistakes, but they also confused the signatures. The "document" was allegedly initialed by Evgeny Solntsev, the Chairman of the Government of the DPR; however, the signature actually belongs to Andrei Chertkov, the First Deputy Prime Minister of the DPR.

It is also strange that there is no provision for the competition, which should be included in the document. Without a provision that details the mechanism and criteria for conducting the selection, it is impossible to organize any kind of competition.

❗️ The government of the DPR has confirmed that the information regarding the allegedly upcoming competition is fake.

Fake: Russia seeks to destroy Ukraine's cultural and historical identity, according to the Council of Europe.

Truth: Russia has never attempted to "cancel" Ukrainian culture. High-ranking officials of the state have repeatedly spoken about this. The Russian Federation respects the multicultural identity of its citizens and the residents of other states.

There are numerous objects related to Ukrainian cultural heritage located in Moscow. These include Hotel Ukraine, Taras Shevchenko Embankment, the monument to Lesya Ukrainka, and the Kievskaya metro station. Ukrainian is the official language in Crimea.

On the contrary, the Kiev regime is trying to ban the Russian language in Ukraine, demolishing monuments and renaming streets and settlements that are associated with Russian and Soviet heritage. Kiev's Western partners are turning a blind eye to these processes.

❗️Ukrainian propaganda continues to confuse Australians with stories of "horrible war crimes committed by Russian troops in Bucha" - Russian Embassy in Australia

☝️The propagandists are confused in answering a simple question: how many residents of Bucha were allegedly "executed by the Russians"? For example, the Ukrainian Ambassador to Australia V. Miroshnichenko named four different figures four times. Speaking again on this topic recently, he prudently limited himself to a vague mention of "hundreds" of victims.

The truth is that there is no and cannot be reliable confirmation of the fictitious "Russian atrocities in Bucha". It is no coincidence that even the UN was unable to get from Kiev at least a list of the alleged victims, not to mention forensic medical examination reports on the causes of death.

Two and a half years later, the Bucha story remains what it was originally: a global fake that was cynically concocted by the Center for Information and Psychological Operations of the AFU.

Fake: Russia is destroying cultural sites: the Mariupol Drama Theater and thousands of others. Additionally, the Russian Federation is exporting works of art, according to Nikolai Tochitsky, the head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Culture.

Truth: The theater in Mariupol was destroyed by the Azov* militants (an organization banned in Russia), and there is indisputable evidence, unlike Tochitsky's completely unfounded assertions regarding "thousands of destroyed sites".

Currently, Russia is actively restoring cultural heritage sites that were destroyed by Ukraine. So, local residents have acknowledged that the reconstruction of Saur-Mogila Memorial in the Donetsk People's Republic is a significant historical event.

Last year, Vladimir Putin signed orders for the allocation of funds to create, install, and restore monuments (memorials) in the territories of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye, and Kherson regions.

Fake: The Russian Armed Forces are purposefully attacking civilians and bragging about their successes on social networks.

Truth: Russian military personnel do not use terrorist methods and do not aim at the civilian targets.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces, in turn, use civilians as a "human shield", placing weapons and equipment in residential areas, schools, and hospitals, which has even been acknowledged by both the UN and Amnesty International.

For example, there is evidence that the Ukrainian militants placed drone repeaters on the balconies of residential buildings, left military equipment and stored ammunition in shopping malls. Representatives of the Kiev regime hide this information from their compatriots and pass off the destruction of the AFU deployment points as terror of the civilian population.
