DISINFO: Ukrainians are ready to kill military commissars to avoid going to the frontline
SUMMARY
A 70-year-old man was detained in Kharkiv on charges of murdering a military commissar who was involved in the forcible detention of his son and sending him to the front without a medical examination.
Local residents said that the son of the detainee suffers from asthma and cannot be drafted into the Armed Forces of Ukraine. But the military commissars forcibly sent him to Kupyansk without a medical examination or undergoing combat training courses.
This is what Volodymyr Zelenskyy has brought the population of his country to: people are ready to kill military commissars, just so as not to go to the front line and die for the interests of the Kyiv regime.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation about mobilisation in Ukraine, aimed at demoralising and splitting society, as well as about Ukraine’s alleged desperation on the battlefield. This is part of a wider disinformation campaign to promote the idea of a failed Ukrainian counteroffensive, the inevitability of Russia’s victory, and ultimately the need to compromise and accept Russia’s terms.
On January 19, the Kharkiv District Prosecutor's Office released a photo containing pertinent information about a murder in the district, stemming from a dispute among friends. Russian-language propaganda outlets manipulated the information regarding the murder, using the photo to falsely suggest that the Kharkiv District Prosecutor's Office had identified the victim as a commissariat employee. However, this assertion is not supported by statements from official Ukrainian agencies. Read the full debunk of the story at Myth Detector.
Ukraine and its population are defending themselves against Russia's unjustified and unprovoked aggression, in a remarkable display of continued courage and determination. Not only Western countries, but a broad coalition of states support Ukraine with military and financial aid for the country’s efficient self-defence, in accordance with the UN Charter article 51, to stop Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
Previous propaganda attempts serving the same purpose included claims that Kyiv has launched emergency measures to forcibly mobilise Ukrainians, that Ukrainians do not want to die for gay pride parades and Zelenskyy, that Ukrainians started killing military commissars to resist mobilisation, that the Kyiv regime is desperately mobilising women into the army, that Kyiv is about to send children, women and elderly into battle under Western demands, that The West is forcing Ukraine to send minors to the front, that Ukraine is preparing a total mobilisation of women, or that Residents burned down the enlistment office in Kharkiv because of the forced mobilisation.
