The enemy prepares provocations in Donetsk region according to the "Bucha scenario", - the National Security and Defense Council

[LB] To discredit Ukraine in the international arena, the Russian Defense Ministry reports provocations under the "Bucha scenario," which is allegedly "prepared by the Ukrainian government with the support of Western curators."

The Center for Combating Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine warns about this .

According to the JRS, the Kremlin media misinforms that in order to implement the plan, the Ukrainian military will "change into the uniform of the Russian army with white armbands" and "shoot" Kostiantynivka residents on camera.

The purpose of the "warning" messages of the Kremlin media is to try to provide an "information alibi" and "prepare" the population of Russia and the international community to commit terrible crimes planned by the occupiers.

"Propaganda continues to work according to the template and is again trying to shift responsibility for the mass killings of civilians in our country to Ukraine," the JRS at the National Security and Defense Council said.
