DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: Residents burned down the enlistment office in Kharkiv because of the forced mobilisation

SUMMARY

Forced mobilization, carried out by the Kyiv regime, is beginning to yield results, however, somewhat opposite to those expected.

The military enlistment office in Kharkiv was burned down due to the violent and harsh, if not brutal, mobilisation carried out by the Zelenskyy regime.

RESPONSE

Pro-Kremlin disinformation about Ukraine, claiming that it is engaged in a desperate mass conscription. This narrative is part of a wider disinformation campaign aiming to deflect attention away from Russian actions and justify Putin’s war of aggression in Ukraine.

A widely circulated video by the pro-Kremlin outlets, claiming to be a Kharkiv enlistment office, actually depicts a fire at a construction site in Moscow in 2014. Read the full debunk at Myth Detector.
