DISINFO: Ukraine prepares for placing cities in Donetsk and Luhansk under siege
SUMMARY
Ukraine is readying for launching a full-scale attack against the Donbas. Eastern Ukrainian cities could be the first targets as the Ukrainian army is preparing for warfare in urbanized areas.
RESPONSE
Recurring disinformation promoted by pro-Kremlin actors. The aim of the disinformation message is to suggest that there is no Russian aggression in the Donbas region of Ukraine and that the Kremlin is not involved in the Eastern Ukrainian conflict.
In his latest statement, the Chief of the General Staff of Ukraine, Ruslan Komchak outlined that the country's armed forces are constantly training and readying for any military scenarios in the face of Russian aggression. Prior to that, he noted that "there is no military solution to the issue in Donbas."
