Mass reports about landmines sent to the e-mail addresses of state institutions throughout Ukraine turned out to be false. The vast majority of them came from Russian IP addresses.
Points of attention
- The special services of the Russian Federation may be involved in mass pseudomines in state institutions of Ukraine.
- Reports of landmines came from Russian IP addresses, which indicates the possible involvement of Russian special services.
- Mass pseudomines are intended to provoke panic and exhaust the system of state and law enforcement agencies.
- The consequences of mass mining pose a threat to the safety of citizens and employees of institutions.
- It is necessary to take additional security measures and cooperate with the relevant services to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The Russian Federation may be involved in reports of landmines in Ukraine
As reported by the National Police, on October 14, messages about the "threat of a terrorist act" and "landmining" were sent en masse to the e-mail addresses of government bodies, schools, business centers, hotels, media offices, embassies and other facilities and agencies in all regions of Ukraine.
Police units worked out all the institutions about which the signals of landmines were received - all of them turned out to be false.
Such messages are the handwriting of the Russian special services, which they use to wage a hybrid war against Ukraine, trying to cause mass panic and exhaust the system of state and law enforcement agencies, the police said.
The police reported that the vast majority of messages came from Russian IP addresses. More than 2,000 calls have been processed, mainly information about the mining of administrative buildings.
