The capital of Ukraine, as he emphasized, was today the epicenter of a massive attack by the enemy, who launched a huge number of weapons of destruction on Kyiv.
The representative of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine drew special attention to the fact that some Ukrainians seek to publicize the consequences of the terrorist attacks of the Russian army. Thus, a photo appeared on social networks and the media space, which included the remains of a "Western-made anti-aircraft missile", which today shot down a Russian cruise missile, and thus saved many lives.
"But it got into the photo... I explain why this should not be done - the Russians take this photo and say, they say, Ukraine shelled its own houses with Western missiles. This has been done for several years by their propaganda, and they also give it to a Western audience," Ihnat emphasized.
According to him, it is better not to publish photos with any debris, because it only helps Russian propagandists.
