What preceded

The day before, on November 20, social networks spread information about an allegedly "particularly massive" missile attack on Ukraine. Some embassies in Kyiv, including the US, temporarily suspended work due to security threats.

A number of media and Telegram channels spread rumors about the possible launch of the intercontinental ballistic missile RS-26 "Rubizh". However, Ukrainian intelligence refuted this fake, noting that the messages contained typical grammatical errors characteristic of Russiaʼs psychological operation. Ukrainians were urged to trust only official sources, not to ignore alarm signals and not to panic.
