Andrii Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council, reported the information."The purpose of such campaigns is to create additional psychological pressure on Ukrainian society and to demonstrate the alleged ability of the Russian army to 'win everywhere on the front,'" Kovalenko said.According to the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, the Chernihiv region is controlled by the Ukrainian Defense Forces, and any provocations by Russia in the border areas are promptly stopped.Andrii Kovalenko recalled that Russians used similar propaganda operations against Sumy and Kharkiv."Let me remind you, the Defense Forces stopped the Russians, who did not have the strength to attack large cities," Kovalenko added.On December 2, the Center for Countering Disinformation refuted Russian claims about the alleged occupation of Vovchansk.
