According to the press service, a resident of Khust district used the "Odnoklassniki" social network, which is banned in Ukraine, to call the temporarily occupied territories "independent republics" and the Russian military "defenders", while accusing Ukrainian soldiers of "destroying civilians".

A resident of Uzhhorod district, in turn, spread narratives of the "Russian world" on Facebook, accused the West of "provoking the conflict" and portrayed Russia as a party that was "forced to defend itself". His posts contained Kremlin propaganda stamps: "genocide in Donbas", "Nazi government in Kyiv", "Ukraine as a puppet of the West" and "war to the last Ukrainian".
