Russian sources distributed photographs of the Ukrainian medal “For the capture of Crimea”, which the Russian troops allegedly found in the military registration and enlistment office of the occupied Kherson region of Ukraine and which proves Ukraine to attack the peninsula. We checked how true this information is.
Messages about the allegedly found Ukrainian awards for the capture of Crimea first appeared in Telegram channels on March 24, 2022. Text of messages Claimedthat "the strike group of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces planned an attack on Crimea, and with military marine support from NATO countries." For future heroes of the allegedly planned offensive, medals and award certificates were already prepared, but “as always, Putin was ahead of everyone,” the first to begin military operations against Ukraine. In a few days publication channel "Operational Summers" read more than 400,000 subscribers, and fast Colonelcassad - more than 800,000. Later, this information was reprinted by Russian MediaReferring to the same Telegram channels. The news also commented by the writer Zakhar Prilepin, head of "Roscosmos" Dmitry Rogozin, correspondent "KP" Edward Chesnokov and other famous personalities. The meaning of their comments came down to the fact that evidence has now been received: if Russia had not begun a special operation, Ukraine would have invaded Crimea.
Council of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine drew attention to rude errors in award certificate Anton Gerashchenko, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky And many Ukrainian Media. The fact that medals and award certificates are false are indicated by a number of shortcomings.
1. In Ukrainian office work, the presidential order called "Decree", not "order" (example such a decree).
2. A mistake was made in the initials of the President of Ukraine. Vladimir Zelensky in Ukrainian spelling is not Alexandrovich, but Oleksandrovich. That is, the correct initials of President V.O., and not V.A.
3. Unlike Russian officials, the President of Ukraine does not use the middle name in official documents, but is signed by “V. Zelensky "(example such a document).
4. In all official documents of Ukraine written “Autonomous Republic of Crimea”, and not just “Crimea”.
5. Crimea is part of Ukraine within the borders of the state recognized by the UN, which means that the medal should be called “for the return (turn) of the Crimea” or “for the liberation (star) of the Crimea”, but not for taking.
6. The found medal visually differs from other Ukrainian state awards for military service, in particular from medals "For impeccable service" And "For the military service of Ukraine". The certificate for the medal also doubts - primarily the lack of serial number.
7. In the end, the very printing execution of the certificate clearly leaves much to be desired. Still, a more solid document is usually attached to the state unit, and not a sheet printed on a black and white printer.
