Russians are preparing provocations in the occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia region for Independence Day

Russians are preparing provocations for Ukraine's Independence Day in the temporarily occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia region. This was reported by the head of the Zaporizhzhya RMA Ivan Fedorov during a telethon, a correspondent of UNN reports.

The enemy is preparing provocations in the temporarily occupied territory in the near future. This is evidenced by the fact that the enemy is massively spreading fakes in Tokmak and Molochansk that the Ukrainian side will shell these settlements

He noted that the Ukrainian military does not shell civilian settlements. However, the Russians want to use these accusations to commit provocations.

"The enemy is thus trying to cover up its actions that it wants to carry out during the celebration of our Independence Day, and thus trying to explain through its propaganda that the Ukrainian army will do it. This is also the information we need to convey to the temporarily occupied territories so that the residents clearly understand who poses a threat," said Fedorov.

Addendum

The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv has warned American citizens of the threat of Russian air strikes in connection with the celebration of Ukraine's Independence Day on August 24.
