Russian propaganda resources are spreading fake information citing “anonymous sources” about the alleged plans of the Ukrainian authorities to mobilize up to a million women from September 1.
This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.

— In fact, there are no plans to mobilize women in Ukraine. There are no bills under consideration by the Verkhovna Rada that would provide for such changes. There are also no government decisions or statements by Ukrainian officials about the mass mobilization of women, — the CPD assures.
The purpose of such information leaks by the enemy is an attempt to sow panic among Ukrainians and destabilize the situation.
Recently, as part of the same information operation, Russian Telegram channels also distributed a deepfake video allegedly of Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olga Stefanishyna about the ban on women aged 18 to 27 traveling abroad.
Stefanishyna personally denied the existence of such a legislative initiative, and the Center for Countering Disinformation explained that the video in question was the result of artificial intelligence using deepfake technologies.
