Ukrainian officials refuted the claims circulating online on the 21st that Russian troops had arrived at the administrative border of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Serhiy Lysak, head of the Military Administration of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, called these claims "false information" and stated that the photos allegedly showing Russian troops in the region were also fabricated.

Lysak said in a statement, "This so-called 'news' and the accompanying photos do not reflect reality. They are deliberately released by the Russian side to scare residents in our region, create panic, and destabilize the situation." (Source: The Kyiv Independent)
