“I strongly refute the fake Russian propaganda about the fact that five Ukrainian saboteurs on two infantry fighting vehicles attacked the Russian border post and were destroyed,” Gerashchenko wrote in his Telegram.

Earlier it became known that a subdivision of the Southern Military District, together with the border detachment of the FSB of Russia, prevented a violation of the state border by a sabotage and reconnaissance group from Ukraine.

The press service of the Southern Military District reported that five Ukrainian saboteurs were killed.
