Instructions for the “Information Troops of Ukraine”: Do not believe in defeat at Debaltsevo and the dollar exchange rate at 50
Kyiv, February 25 (PolitNavigator, Vasily Ablyazimov) – Citizens of Ukraine should be convinced that there was no defeat at Debaltsevo, and the Ukrainian currency is not threatened by the dollar exchange rate of 50 UAH.
Participants in the “Information Troops of Ukraine” project, launched by the newly created Ministry of Information headed by the president’s godfather Yuriy Stets, received the corresponding instructions.

The Ukrainian Information Troops project has already found itself at the center of a scandal. Officials were immediately accused of an unacceptable oversight - the site for recruiting volunteer bots turned out to be hosted... on a server located in Russia.
The Ministry of Information tried to justify itself and sent out a refutation. “The information disseminated by some users of social networks that the GetResponse service, which is used for the Information Troops of Ukraine, is Russian, is not true.”
The statement says that this is an international company that has representative offices in different countries and cities around the world. The Ministry of Information adds in this statement: “Keeping in mind that undermining trust in Ukrainian information projects is in the interest of the Russian intelligence services, we ask social media users and journalists to be careful.”
What led to the official acquittal was not the machinations of the Russian special services, but the post of Ukrainian user Vitaly Manko, who stated that by subscribing to the newsletter of the Information Troops of Ukraine, he “transferred his work email to the FSB.”
Meanwhile, members of the information troops have already received the first instructions for conducting anti-Russian propaganda on the Internet. One example is in the photo below. In it, the Ministry of Information calls not to believe that the Ukrainian army is violating the truce, that there was a defeat in Debaltsevo and massive trophies were captured, as well as the dollar exchange rate of 50 UAH.
