SBU uncovers Russian plan for disinformation campaign targeting Oleshky

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has uncovered a Russian plan to launch a disinformation campaign targeting the occupied town of Oleshky in Kherson Oblast. According to the SBU, Russian soldiers from an occupying unit have been assigned to orchestrate staged "compromising" interviews with locals. These actors would be compelled to blame the Ukrainian Defense Forces for regular shelling and blockades, undermine Ukraine's leadership, and praise Russian occupying forces.

The SBU predicts this influence operation will commence between October and early November. Ukrainian media and citizens are urged to remain vigilant and informed about this potential threat.
