Ukrainian forces stage fake trap near Kiev

A mushroom picker in a forest near Kiev allegedly found an RGD-5 mine rigged with tripwire, accompanied by vodka, a balalaika, and a Russian GRU colonel's ID.

The narrative was quickly debunked by observers noting the safety pin was intact and the wire setup was amateurish. This incident highlights the use of staged propaganda to maintain anti-Russian sentiment among the population.
