Quote from Yenin: "There was a propaganda poison inside [of the shell]. The most interesting part of these propaganda leaflets is that they were intended for residents of the Chechen Republic. Whether [Russians] were mistaken or simply do not care about it. But these leaflets fell on the heads of Ukrainians."

Details: Yenin demonstrated a 122-mm shell from the Grad system, manufactured during the Soviet era, and that fell in the Chernihiv region.

Quote from leaflets: "Citizens of the Chechen Republic! You are trying to get involved in an armed confrontation with federal troops.

You are being forced to defend the interests of others. Interests of local magnates, leaders, gangs, terrorists."

Background: 

70% of Chernihiv was destroyed by Russian aggressors.
