Ukrainian info saboteurs used foreign journos to stage filmed interviews with Russian prisoners - report

The Ukrainian propaganda machine recruited foreign journalists to stage filmed interviews with Russian prisoners in the Sumy regional hospital in order to accuse the Russian military of shelling their own civilian population in the Kursk region, an informed source has told Sputnik.

Employees of Ukraine’s notorious Center for Information and Psychological Operations (CIPSO) also sought to portray the prisoners captured in the Kursk border region as supposedly showing “gratitude” to the Ukrainian forces for their “help.” 

"On Saturday, Russian prisoners from among the military and civilians were brought to Sumy regional hospital. They were staged to be distributed among beds and provided assistance in front of foreign journalists' cameras. Afterwards, the prisoners called on the Russian military not to fire on villages in the Sudzha district and on the regional hospital in Sumy," the source said. 

According to the source, the prisoners were required to express gratitude for their "liberation." Some of the prisoners involved in the video production were removed from the hospital after filming.
It was added that the medical facility contains a large number of wounded Ukrainian soldiers. "The regional healthcare system here (in the Sumy region) can no longer handle them, there are many wounded," the source added.

Since the attempted incursion into Russia’s Kursk region launched by Ukraine on August 6, the Russian Armed Forces have been successfully repelling the enemy, quashing its advance and destroying vast amounts of NATO weaponry provided to the Kiev regime.
