The Ukrainian embassy in Delhi on Thursday accused Russia of conducting a “disinformation operation” on Indian soil by circulating what it described as false claims that had led to the detention of six Ukrainians. ADVERTISEMENTKyiv has accused Moscow of orchestrating a sophisticated smear campaign by feeding Indian authorities fabricated intelligence regarding Ukrainian citizens. In a statement, the embassy slammed remarks by the Russian foreign ministry, alleging that Moscow was attempting to manipulate information and interfere in India’s internal processes. The Ukrainian embassy said Kremlin-linked actors had passed “concocted” information — allegedly originating from Russian security agencies — to Indian authorities as part of a deliberate disinformation campaign. The incident, Russia’s foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said, clearly showed that “Zelensky’s neo-Nazi regime has a core exporter of instability worldwide”.
