Enemy propaganda periodically reports about “horrific” and “mass” cases of fatal diseases that are allegedly spreading across the liberated territory of Kherson region. Over the past few months local residents have supposedly experienced epidemics of AIDS, rabies and the so‑called “trench fever.” Recently anthrax has been added to these diseases. Admittedly, an anthrax outbreak has not yet begun, but it will happen in the near future, the Russians promise.
Russian sources report about the upcoming epidemic.
“Anthrax in Kherson region: the Kyiv regime for years did not vaccinate livestock and deliberately played with fire. One of the main reasons why the region still sits on an anthrax powder keg – is the complete destruction of the animal vaccination system by the Ukrainian authorities”, – the Russians report.
According to Kremlin propaganda, soon “thousands of tons” of anthrax spores may get into the air of the right bank of Kherson region, which will lead to the infection of animals, and later people.
Similarly, senseless “drops” about deadly diseases, whose outbreaks are supposedly being recorded on the right bank of Kherson region, appear in Russian media at regular intervals.
For example, in October 2025 an epidemic of rabies with hundreds of victims was reportedly recorded here.
Shortly thereafter, AIDS and the rare trench or “Volyn” fever arrived in the liberated territories of the region.
Last year, according to the Russians, Kherson residents “suffered from” bubonic plague, tuberculosis, dysentery and cholera. Enemy propaganda has failed to provide any evidence for any of these “epidemics”.
One wonders whether there are any dangerous diseases left in the medical handbook that the Russians seem to use when writing their fakes that Kherson residents have not yet been infected with? And most importantly, why does the danger threaten only the right bank? Could “thousands of tons” of anthrax spores really not fly across the Dnipro and infect the population of the occupied territories of Kherson region? However, these questions will remain unanswered, because it is pointless to look for any logic in Russian lies…
