According to him, specialists of the 72nd Center for Information and Psychological Operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing another cynical provocation with the death of civilians to accuse the Russian Armed Forces of inflicting indiscriminate strikes on civilian objects.

“The militants of the nationalist battalion “Kraken” and the 113th Territorial Defense Brigade, under the threat of execution, forcibly bring medical personnel and sick children from other medical institutions of the city to the First Children’s City Hospital of Kharkov (Klochkovskaya Street), ”he said.

Mizintsev stressed that the hospital building was mined, and the neo-Nazis plan to blow it up with the start of the Russian troops' artillery strikes on military facilities in Kharkov.

He also added that foreign journalists had already arrived in the city to prepare fake photo and video materials.

Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry said that the Ukrainian military is using the medical infrastructure of Odessa, as well as settlements of the Donetsk People's Republic for military purposes.
