Internet users drew attention to the photo of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny on his Twitter account. On the hand of the slave, users saw a bracelet with Nazi symbols. We checked whether the head of the Armed Forces of Ukraine really wears such a bracelet.
Photo Valeria Zaluzhny, who was so interested in network users, appeared on his Twitter account on October 6. On the right hand you can see a bracelet with poorly distinguished symbols. Telegram channel "War with fakes»Published an enlarged fragment of a bracelet, on which the swastika is supposedly distinguishable. The news was picked up by numerous Russian media: ""RIA Novosti","Russian newspaper" Life.ru, Lenta.ru, "Gazeta.ru". TV channel "Star"Wrote that because of the flared scandal, the Slutny had to make excuses for the open wearing of fascist symbols. The news was commented by the speaker of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova: “The result is the Ukrainian commander of the Armed Forces to wears a bracelet with a swastika. And it will not work to justify here. ” "Swastika" on the Bracelet of the Zaluzhny also got wide attention in social networks: for example, this tweet More than 12 thousand reposts.
Telegram channel "War with Fakes" is one of the first I noticed Photo published on Twitter of the stagnant. For greater clarity, the authors of the canal increased a fragment with a bracelet on the hand of a slave so that readers could clearly consider the “swastika”.
A few hours later, the Ukrainian Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security published fast With a photograph of a similar bracelet, but in good quality. In this photo it is clearly seen that this is not a swastika, but two intertwined links. Such bracelets are sold on site Ukrainian online store of accessories Pakabone. However, Maria Zakharova did not convince this explanation:
“Of course, as soon as the photo dispersed widely, causing a resonance, followed Absolute excuses The Kyiv regime is that it is just Twitter that the quality of the photo is so terrible, which is why it was supposedly manifested on the bracelet ... Swastika. Maybe on Bankova they decided to take revenge on Ilon to take a concern? In the comments, Zaluzhny himself confirmed this version of the evil "Twitter", stigating Ukrainian military swastikas. Oh, if only Twitter could. But the artificial intelligence of this social network so far stigmatizes for zero, erected in a double size - "x0x0l" what really is? Bracelet, which bring As the initial, the apologists of the staging is completely different, not the one that the high -ranking Ukrainian neo -Nazi with a machine gun in his hand. Compare: original And ridiculous substitution. The result - the Ukrainian commander of the Armed Forces wears a bracelet with a swastika. And it will not work to justify here. ”
Bead For the Pakabone set of bracelet, it really does not look like a “swastika” on the Bracelet of Zaluzhny. Nevertheless, it is difficult to compare the close -up of the bead in good resolution (on the Pakabone website) with a blurry image of the Bracelet of Zaluzhny (on his Twitter). Therefore, one of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Anatoly Stefan published photo A similar bracelet from Pakabone and its blurry version with reduced quality. With this processing, it is clear that the symbol depicted on the bead "Solomon knot»Builds the outline of the swastika, which some Russian users have seen.
We found the same stagnoon bracelet and in his other photographs on social networks (for example, here, here or here). All beads on the staging bracelet coincide with set Scandinavian symbols presented on the Pakabone website. Yes, and the company itself Confirmedthat the bracelet of the commander in chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is their work. Beads with a swastika symbol in assortment Pakabone is not.
Thus, the “swastika” on the bracelet of the slave is actually a node of Solomon, who, in poor resolution, changed its outlines. The Russian pro-government Telegram channel “War with Fakes”, which often often took advantage of this visual resemblance Publishing False statements. Already from there this misinformation was in the Russian media and accounts of officials of the Russian Federation.
