The Kremlin said that the so-called message of President Vladimir Putin, which was heard on Monday on Russian stations in the regions bordering Ukraine, is a fake and the result of a cyber attack, Russian news agencies report, Reuters reports.
The state news agency RIA reported that several radio stations broadcast the fake speech.
“All these reports are an absolute fake,” Kremlin spokesman Dmytro Peskov said.
Independent Russian media reported that residents of the Rostov, Belgorod, and Voronezh regions bordering Ukraine were informed that Kyiv troops had crossed the border with Russia.
The fake ad also falsely claimed that martial law had been declared in the border areas and nationwide military mobilization had begun for Russia’s war with Ukraine, and that residents needed to flee deep into Russia.
Kyiv denies sending troops into Russian territory and says sporadic ground incursions over the past three months, which Moscow blames on Ukraine, were the work of Russian guerrillas.
In a statement published on Telegram, the government of the Voronezh region confirmed the fact of the cyberattack and said that local radio stations are under the control of law enforcement agencies and local authorities.
