disinformation and debunking

This tag covers false news, Russian propaganda and scams using fake pages and letters.

Russian propagandists have spread fakes about Mykolaiv Oblast: a “bioweapon” to spread bird flu in 2023, “landing boats” that were really a destroyed alcohol depot in 2024, and maps showing the region “in Russia” in March 2025. In December 2023 a fake video about a villa in Spain owned by Mayor Sienkevych circulated on social media.

MykVisti checks such claims and reports on debunking by the Centre for Countering Disinformation, the army and police.
