Ukraine says warnings of massive air attack were faked by Russia

Ukraine says warnings of an imminent mass air attack by Russia are part of “a massive information-psychological attack” against the country aimed at spreading fear.

“A message is being spread via messengers and social networks… about the threat of a ‘particularly massive’ missile and bomb strike on Ukrainian cities today,” Kyiv’s top spy agency, the Main Directorate of Intelligence, says in a statement.

“This message is a fake, it contains grammatical errors typical of Russian information and psychological operations.”

The US earlier said it was shutting its Kyiv embassy for the day after seeing intelligence about a possible large Russian air attack, prompting other countries to do the same.
