3 cruise missile carriers on the Russian Federation ships are prepared to fire highly accurate missiles toward civilian and critical infrastructure in Ukraine.

Russian media keeps on lying, fabricating successes that never happened, and disguising the atrocities committed by its military and mercenaries. Ukraine thus implores you to refrain from disseminating numerous Russian fakes and misinformation and to only believe information coming from reliable sources.
