Several Russian radio stations, victims of a "hacking", broadcast on Monday a false speech by President Vladimir Putin reporting an "invasion" and announcing the imposition of martial law in the border regions of Ukraine. The voice and tone sounded very much like those of the Russian president.
This hacking came as incursions and bombings have multiplied for two weeks in the Belgorod region where pro-Ukrainian Russian fighters attack Russian forces. "It was indeed a hack. We are aware," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian news agencies.
