Since the beginning of 2022, Ukraine has recorded more than 300 false reports of alleged mining social facilities and critical infrastructure. The Security Service believes that the Russian Federation is involved in this.
This is stated in a post on site SBU on Friday, January 21. The institution noted that over the past year, about 1,100 such messages were received. According to the SBU, they are part of a hybrid war to increase pressure on Ukraine.

Most of the messages, as law enforcement officers have established, come from persons located in the temporarily occupied territories of Donbass or in the territory of neighboring post-Soviet countries.
