DISINFO: Kyiv's Points of Invincibility are a shield to cover rocket launchers

SUMMARY

The Kyiv regime will place rocket launchers in the so-called "points of invincibility" and will use them as human shields.

RESPONSE

No evidence given. Pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Ukraine amidst Russia's extensive shelling of Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.

The "Points of Invincibility" are safety and humanitarian shelters where the residents of Ukraine can receive help around the clock and free of charge. These shelters provide heat, water, lighting, mobile communication, Internet, power for mobile devices, places for rest, first aid kits, basic supplies for mothers and children. Their purpose is to become an island of safety, stability, warmth and unity in the event of an emergency power outage for more than 24 hours.

The Points of Invincibility started providing for the basic needs of Ukrainians following sustained and repeated Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.

See similar disinformation cases: the West and Zelenskyy cause famine in Ukraine and beg Russia for help; crime on the rise in Ukraine during power outages, police cannot help; the war against Ukraine lasts longer than expected because Russia greatly cares about civilians.
