Journalists write that the command named the Russian statements "fakes" and noted that information about the counter -offensive has not yet received. Responding to the statement of the Ministry of Defense of Russia about the alleged beginning of the "great counter -offensive" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (Armed Forces), the General Staff of the Armed Forces denied the statements of the Russian side. They also noted that Russian fakes would not comment. About it on Monday, June 5, writes Reuters.

"We do not have such information, and we do not comment on all kinds of fakes," the General Staff representative told reporters. We will remind that in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on June 5 declared "a large -scale offensive of the Armed Forces in five sections of the front", which probably began in the morning on June 4.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the offensive allegedly began in the south of the Donetsk direction using two mechanized brigades "from the Armed Forces Strategic Reserves with the support of other military units and units". The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation also argued that the Armed Forces "did not reach their goals" and "suffered losses in live power and technology.

" It should be noted that in response to Russian statements, the Center for Strategic Communications of the Armed Forces warned Ukrainians about the possible activation of information and psychological operations (IPSO) by Russian invaders. The purpose of such operations is demoralization and misleading of society, including their own population.

As part of the information operation, Russian propagandists will disseminate false information about the Armed Forces counter -offensive, its directions and losses of the Ukrainian army. For this purpose, the enemy uses old videos and photos with captives, dead and damaged equipment. In addition, it should be noted that on June 4, Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Anna Malyar stressed that there would be no official announcements about the start of the Armed Forces.
