Having realized that the world community no longer believes the false reports of russian TV channels, the kremlin propagandists have decided to involve European journalists and world media in their activities.

According to Ukraine’s military intelligence, the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Ministry of Defence of the occupying country is urgently preparing a press tour of foreign journalists to the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

From May 18 to May 21, the invaders plan to show the media the destroyed areas of Mariupol. To accuse Ukraine of destroying the city and massacres of civilians, russian propagandists have already brought to Mariupol fragments of Ukrainian ammunition collected from all occupied areas of the Donetsk region and are preparing ‘local eyewitnesses’ brought from Donetsk and Horlivka who will tell journalists about the ‘crimes’ of the defenders of Mariupol.

The so-called ‘press tour’ also provides for the departure of the group from Rostov-on-Don and a visit by journalists to Kherson, Nova Kakhovka, Skadovsk, Armiansk and Donetsk, where a meeting with Denys Pushilin is scheduled.

The Ministry of Defence of the russian federation is trying to attract media representatives from France, the USA, Germany, Japan, Greece, China, Belarus, India, Venezuela, Bulgaria and the UAE to participate in the ‘press tour’.

We warn foreign journalists about the plans of propagandists of the aggressor country to make them complicit in the creation of fake materials and remind them of criminal responsibility for illegally crossing the state border of Ukraine and entering the territory of an independent state.
