DISINFO: Ukrainians started killing military commissars to resist mobilisation
SUMMARY
A Ukrainian military commissar was shot dead while trying to deliver a conscription.
A video released by the Ukrainian police recorded the moment of the murder of an employee of the Territorial Recruitment Center (TRC) during an attempt to serve a summons to a conscript.
This incident, apparently, is only the beginning of a new act of national tragedy - armed resistance of the [Ukrainian] population. Citizens are ready to do almost anything to avoid going to the front.
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.
No employee of the Territorial Recruitment Center (TRC) was killed in Ukraine while handing over a military conscription letter to a citizen. The National Police of Ukraine released a statement on the shared video, refuting the information and noting inconsistencies in the footage. Read the full debunk at Myth Detector.
Ukraine and its population is defending itself 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.
Read similar disinformation claims that 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, that Ukraine is training pensioners as tank crews because its military reserves are gone, that Residents burned down the enlistment office in Kharkiv because of the forced mobilisation, or that Ukrainian mobilisation is genocide against Russian-speaking population.
