The We For News reported, Russian hackers broke into the live newsfeed of the TV channel Ukraina 24 and posted a fake “statement” of surrender by President Volodymyr Zelensky. The President immediately recorded a video suggesting that the Russians lay down their weapons.

Ukrayinska Pravda reported, the TV channel said: “The news ticker on Ukraina 24 and the Sohodni (Today) website have been broken into by enemy hackers and are broadcasting a message from Zelensky about an alleged ‘surrender’. Friends, we have given several warnings about this. This is fake! No one is going to surrender, least of all when the Russian army is being defeated by the Ukrainian army.”

According to the report, the statement is no longer being broadcast on air, but a recording can be seen.

My priorities in the negotiations are absolutely clear: the end of the war, security guarantees, sovereignty, restoration of territorial integrity, real guarantees for our country, real protection for our country.

Zelensky said: “With regard to the latest childish provocation alleging that I’m suggesting we put down our weapons, I suggest that the only people who should put their weapons down – and go home – are the Russian military."
