The Russian military occupied the Kherson branch of Suspilne, and then made a film that allegedly "stole" everything from employees of the channel.

The pro-Russian YouTube channel Media Guardia published a so-called investigation into the "temple of Ukrainian lies and propaganda," as the Russian occupiers called the Kherson branch of Suspilne.

The presenter allegedly takes a tour of the TV center and shows where the journalists worked, what outdated technology they used and what "Nazi" literature they read.

The manager of the Kherson branch, Mykhailo Svarychevsky, analyzed the investigation of the occupiers and wrote on Facebook a refutation of the "continuous fake."

He reminded that the building of the Kherson branch was seized by the Russian military on March 2, first a banner was installed, the TV tower was seized on March 3, one of its headquarters was set up in the branch, and military equipment was stored in the yard. They showed their investigation only on May 12 and a few days later the second part.

The leader of this "investigation" claims that employees of the branch "looted" the equipment. "More than one resident of Kherson has seen the Russian military drive to the branch from the Perekop truck and take out equipment," said Suspilne officials.

According to Svarychevsky, the video showed outdated and decommissioned equipment in the basement, as well as a studio that was used as a warehouse.

"But all the new machinery and equipment for some reason did not get on the video, because, most likely, it was exported to Russia," said the branch manager.

"Currently, there is no TV camera or screen in the studio of the Kherson Suspilne branch, and the Russian military has taken out absolutely all computers and any equipment worthy of looters from the offices of workers. All that is left is obsolete and long-written-off equipment. It was used by Russian propagandists to film the so-called "investigation", "Mykhailo Svarychevsky shared.

The propaganda film includes "stories" about life in the basements of the Public Territorial Defense of Kherson and anti-terrorist operation veterans working at the branch. Photos of Suspilne employees from cases kept in the military registration and enlistment office are also shown. And among them there are people who no longer work at the branch, there are those who have already died.

"It is not surprising to see military IDs on video, because the military enlistment office building was seized from the first days of the occupation. We treat the military with pride, honor and respect. Their presence in the labor collective is a common thing, which is supported by the mutual will of the parties, "says Mykhailo Svarychevsky.

The basis of the investigation was the accusation of Kherson Suspilne office in propaganda of all things Ukrainian and the formation of hatred for Russians and their supporters. As an example, the presenter demonstrated books that were allegedly found in the premises of Leonid Kuchma's Ukraine is Not Russia branch and collections about the OUN's activities, crimes committed by the Russian authorities, and so on.

"It is very good that the orc knows where to get this kind of literature in the Kherson region. Read carefully! The books describe very well what happened to those who tried to seize Ukrainian land. Russian ideology - unargued, verbal diarrhea!" - wrote the branch manager.
