“Stop your fake-producing factory”: Kuleba addressed Russia

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, reacted to fake Russian statements about alleged aggression by the Ukrainian military. He called on Russia to stop its fake factory.

The Foreign Minister stated this on Twitter.

"I categorically refute Russian disinformation. Ukraine DID NOT attack Donetsk or Luhansk, send saboteurs or APCs over the Russian border, shell Russian territory, shell Russian border crossing, conduct acts of sabotage. Ukraine does NOT plan any such actions. Russia, stop your fake-producing factory now," said Kuleba.

Earlier, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksii Danilov stated that it would not be possible to provoke Ukraine to take active action, Interfax-Ukraine reports.

Ukraine has nothing to do with the shelling claimed by Russia. According to him, the Ukrainian government fully understands what is happening with security and is ready for challenges.

"Our military can only retaliate if our lives are threatened. We are not shelling, we have nothing to do with the shelling. We have warned that they can fantasize as much as they want, they can do anything they want. And we are ready for that," Danilov said at a briefing at the Safe and Wealthy Communities of the Future forum.

Russian state propaganda and Telegram channels have published FSB reports accusing Ukraine of shelling a border checkpoint in the Rostov region 150 meters from the border. Despite reports by propagandists that the "shelling completely destroyed" the point, the video shows the Russian flag, which "strangely" survived.

Russia, through the "fifth column" and information special operations, is beginning to form a pretext for invading Ukraine. Provocations are underway at the border and in the occupied territories, at the UN Security Council, and on Russia's central television channels.
