Missile attack on Odessa: the Russian Federation "accelerate" fake on the elimination of NATO soldiers

According to SPRAVDI experts, false statements about the destruction of foreign military are spread to strengthen the idea that Russia is in conflict not with Ukraine but NATO directly. Russian propagandists are actively disseminating false information on the alleged destruction of NATO servicemen, including US and German officers, during a rocket attack on Odessa, which took place on March 15. The Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security SPRAVDI informs about it.

This misinformation about the "elimination of Western instructors" or "NATO military people" is used by occupation forces as a way of legitimizing hostilities that lead to the death of the civilian population, the fact checkers say. "Such statements have already been heard after a pizzeria strike in Kramatorsk, in the village of Groz in Kharkiv region, where 53 civilians were killed," the message said.

In reality, the consequences of the rocket firing of Odessa on March 15 led to the death of 21 people, including well -known personalities both in Odessa and in Ukraine: rescuer Denis Kolesnikov, existing mayor Sergei Tetyukhin, commander . Experts emphasize that false statements about the death of foreign military are spread to strengthen the idea that Russia is in conflict not with Ukraine but with NATO direction.
