Such information was disseminated in social networks, in particular, on telegram channels broadcasting pro-Kremlin rhetoric. Reports say that US military personnel stationed in Ukraine will receive an increase in salary. The authors refer to the material of the Army Times. This is manipulation.

Fact-checkers of the StopFake project took up this case and determined that the journalists really reported on the approval by the US government of additional allowances for US military personnel serving in Ukraine. However, it is about a small group of American military personnel who are located in the American embassy in Kyiv and work as a security service. The material did not mention that this category of persons would participate in the Russian-Ukrainian war.

The propagandists simply distorted the meaning of the material and pulled out only the theses that were beneficial to them.
