Russian invaders sending threats to Kherson region’s residents via social media - watchdog

Ukrinform
Residents of Kherson have been receiving messages containing threats of physical violence, being targeted by enemy bots.

That’s according to the Center for Countering Disinformation, Ukrinform reports.

"The text warns of a physical threat, which can be avoided if they tell on the ‘Nazis’ in Kherson. In this way, the ruscists are trying to get tips on the location of the Ukrainian military in Kherson region, as well as on the partisan movement in the temporarily occupied territory," the report says.

The Center urges residents not to fall for manipulation and recalls that any collaboration with the enemy is tantamount to treason and is punishable by up to 15 years in prison or life imprisonment under martial law.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the Russian military shelled Kherson region 77 times in the last day, killing a civilian.
