On March 16, the news ticker of the Ukraine 24 TV channel and the website of «Syohodni» media were attacked by enemy hackers. As a result, they broadcasted reports allegedly from President Volodymyr Zelenskyi about the «surrender» in the war. Ukrainians are warned that this is a fake.

«Friends, we have repeatedly warned about this. No one is going to give up. Especially in conditions when the Russian army suffers losses in battles with the Ukrainian army», – it is said in the message on Facebook of the TV channel.

The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi immediately reacted to another fake from the Russians.

«I can offer to lay down arms only to the Russian military and to return home. And we are already at home, we are protecting our lands, our children, our families, so we are not going to lay down our arms until our victory,» – he added in his short address.
