In July, 198 out of 218 incidents (91%) related to Territorial Recruitment Centers (TRCs) were found to be fakes or manipulations.

This was reported by the Ukrainian Ground Forces on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

According to the command, in 91% of cases, information spread as alleged violations of the law by military personnel was distorted to disrupt mobilization and undermine the country’s defense capabilities.

Only 20 incidents (9%) were confirmed as legitimate. Following verification, two individuals were suspended from their duties, while two others faced disciplinary action, and 16 official investigations are still ongoing.

“We understand that only open reporting, transparency, and truth can counter the enormous resources of Russian propaganda, for which the enemy spares neither money nor effort. We work to ensure that the actions of our subordinates comply with the law, and that those truly guilty are held accountable,” the Ground Forces stated.
