NABU stressed that such information attacks are part of a systematic disinformation campaign by Russia aimed at discrediting Ukrainian institutions, undermining trust in anti-corruption bodies, destabilizing the socio-political situation, and weakening Ukraine's unity during the full-scale war.

The agencies urged citizens and media representatives to verify information through official sources and avoid spreading manipulation and fake stories used by Russia as part of its information warfare against Ukraine.
