They will be sent to France to suppress protests: a new fake about "Azov" was launched in the Russian Federation - CPD

It is reported that the Russians are trying to discredit the Armed Forces as much as possible, especially the Azov Regiment and the Kraken special unit. In Russia, they began to spread fake reports that NATO allegedly considers the possibility of sending Azov fighters and Kraken special unit to suppress riots in France. About it reports the Center for Combating Misinformation.

"For the accuracy of propagandists, they refer to the allegedly official Alliance page, which indicates such a statement by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. However, this information is not true, and the so -called NATO official page was fake," the statement said. The CPD noted that the Russians try to discredit the Armed Forces as much as possible, especially the regiment "Azov" and the special unit "Kraken".

They want to strengthen the argument that Ukraine is allegedly a puppet of NATO and uses it for its selfish purposes. The CPD also reminded that Russians can activate every effort to misinformation against the backdrop of NATO summit in Vilnius, which will take place on July 11-12. Recall that at the end of June, mass riots began in France because of the death of a teenager named Noel. He was shot dead by police when he tried to run away from them by car.
