Russia released a dubious audio recording, but once again "forgot" to provide photos
Russia is once again spreading false claims about alleged Ukrainian attacks on passenger buses in the Bryansk region. Such actions by the Kremlin are a primitive attempt to draw Belarus into the war against Ukraine, states Andriy Kovalenko, the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation.
The Russian side accused Ukrainian forces of allegedly carrying out a drone attack on a passenger bus traveling on the Minsk–Anapa route. Russian propagandists claimed that the incident supposedly occurred at the Krasny Kamen border checkpoint in Russia's Bryansk region, leaving two people injured.
According to Kovalenko, the Russians published a dubious audio recording as evidence but once again failed to provide any photos or videos from the scene.
He noted that this is not the first such case. Previously, Russia similarly lied about an alleged attack on a bus carrying children, which did not even have license plates.
The head of the Center for Countering Disinformation stressed that these "false flag" provocations are very crude but serve a clear purpose: Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying by any means to force Belarus to enter the war directly.
