Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has fired Polina Lyssenko, director of the Center for Combating Disinformation. She was the author of the loudest fakes, especially about the killing of civilians in Bucha, reports Ukraina.ru.

Lisenko made up stories about how Russian soldiers stole toilet bowls, microwaves, and other household appliances because of their “savagery.” Lisenko led the dissemination of information about the killing of civilians by the Russian army in Mariupol.

The dismissal of Polina Lysenko recalls the situation of the former Ukrainian mediator Lyudmila Denisova. She invented completely inadequate things, starting with the rape of Ukrainian women, but also of children and even animals by Russian soldiers. Plus, the stories looked so sloppy that even the West didn’t believe them in the end.
