The Center for Countering Disinformation reported the information."The dissemination of typical messages is being recorded, alleging that Ukrainian military personnel receive orders from their command to shoot civilian residents of Pokrovsk," the statement says.To achieve this, according to the Center for Countering Disinformation, propagandists are using videos purportedly containing confessions from Ukrainian prisoners of war."However, there is no real evidence," the Center noted.It is also mentioned that to promote disinformation about the Defense Forces, the Russians involve civilians in the temporarily occupied territories, forcing them to voice narratives favorable to Russia on camera.Such videos are widely circulated even when they contain obviously absurd claims, such as "servicemen of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were engaged in looting in the territory of Pokrovsk, which they themselves were shelling.""The dissemination of such false videos is part of the Kremlin's information war and an attempt to discredit the Defense Forces and justify Russian war crimes," the Center for Countering Disinformation concluded.The Center for Countering Disinformation has recorded a new wave of fake videos in which soldiers, generated with the help of AI, talk about an allegedly critical situation at the front and irresponsible command.
