Is it true that the APU soldier killed his wife and children because of the trampoline in the colors of the flag of Russia?

Recently, the Russian media wrote that the shell-shocked Ukrainian military from Ternopol killed his wife and two small children due to the flowers of an inflatable trampoline. We checked the reliability of such messages.

The news about this triple murder began to spread over the network on December 10, 2022. According to Internet publications, a soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine named Boris Pilipenko (sometimes Pipenko) received a cerebral cerebral contusion on November 14 and returned to the hometown of Ternopil after rehabilitation, where he stabbed his wife and two children with a knife. The reason allegedly served as a children's inflatable trampoline in the colors of the Russian tricolor - the fighter thought that at home there was a betrayal to his homeland, and fell into fury from the sight of an enemy flag. It is also reported that the Ukrainian family received this trampoline as humanitarian assistance for children from France and that the Ternopol police started a criminal case under the murder article. Such publications are found on sites "Public news service", TV channel"Ren-TV","Federal News Agency","Truth.ru","Russian seed" And others news resources.

In Telegram channels and social networks, this plot is often illustrated by the screenshot of news from the Ukrainian TSN website, thereby demonstrating that the Ukrainian media allegedly wrote about this event. The image shows a photo of a white-blue-red trampoline, on which traces of blood seemed to be smeared. The recordings of the following channels were most dispersed in Telegram: "Live broadcast"(606,000 views),"Ne. Sahar"(191 000),"Ukraine.ru"(191 000),"Army 18+"(184 000),"Bullet"(169,000),"The first folk"(157 000),"Anastasia Kashevarova"(153,000),"Sheikh Tamir"(141 000),"Signal"(128,000, already deleted),"Ostashko!

There are similar posts on VKontakte (examples here, here, here, here And here), Twitter (here And here) And "Zen".

Note that most of the publications say that the police found three corpses, but there are resources according to which the killed were four: Pilipenko supposedly I finished With you, shortly after the reprisal against family members.

According to the virus screenshot, the news of the murder in Ternopol appeared on December 7 at 10:14 on the website of the "Television Service of News" under the heading (translated from the Ukrainian language) "stabbed his wife and two children for an inflatable trampoline. What is known about the murder of a family in Ternopol. ” At the same time, the original uses the word "court", although, according to rules Ukrainian language should be written "Bucks". In addition, the Lida is not separate The participle of the “turning to the Dodom”, and at the end of the sentence there is no point. It can be assumed that these are typos, but it seems unlikely that such a number of errors could appear in two sentences and over time no one corrected them (at the time of the creation of the screenshot there were almost 8,000 views).

According to the distributed image, the text on the site posted the editor Oksana Zinchenko, however, under her name, we did not find such material. Search on the Site TSN also did not help us find such a news note from other authors. In general, we could not find the mention of this story about the trampoline on the Web from 7 to December 10. At the same time, in no publication with a screenshot there is no reference to TSN material, respectively, it is also not possible to check the presence of this material in the Google cache or the Internet archive.

The screenshot shows that in the photo of the trampoline the emblem of the National Police of Ukraine is imposed. Our colleagues from Stopfake Turned The press service of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Ternopil Region, where they told reporters that there was no such or such incident in the city, respectively, the police did not post a photograph of a bloodied trampoline.

In addition, the authors of Stopfake found another news, placed Oksana Zinchenko on the TSN website December 7 at 10:14, and suggested that this publication could become the basis for creating a fake screenshot. That material is dedicated to Russian missile strikes in the Zaporizhzhya region. In addition to the name of the author, the date and time of the publication, the time of reading the text, the number of pictures and the heading in the main menu of the site (“War”) also coincide.

However, if you carefully compare the viral screenshot and ours, you can notice that a completely different section is indicated on the viral above the heading - “Ukraine”, although the “war” section should also be indicated there.

We also analyzed the fonts and came to the conclusion that the font in the viral image differs from what is used on the TSN website. This is most noticeable by the letters “a”, “y”, “b” and “h”.

Apparently, in the photo from a fake screenshot is captured an inflatable playpen-Batut from the company Intex. However, on the Web, we were not able to find a trampoline in a white-blue-red color, since on an original product, instead of white, yellow. Also exists The mini-version of this trampoline, but the colors on it differ even more.

We found the earliest publication about murder due to trampoline in Telegram thanks to the search for keywords in the TGSTAT service. She appeared in the channel "Russia"(27,000 views) December 10 at 10:53 Moscow time.

In conclusion, we add that the news we are considering They called it fake, even in the pro-Russian Telegram channel "Minravadi", which Positions oneself as a fact of a project, but at the same time violates all the main Principles The International Fact-Checking Network Network): ANOMY ANOMISE ANIMALS PLEASE OF LIFFERS to Sources, Sources of Financing and Policy of Correction, and also openly support one of the parties to the conflict.

According to the authors of the Ministry of Pravda, a fake on the murder in Ternopol was performed by the Center for Information and Psychological Operations (Cipso) in order to discredit Russian sources of information. No evidence was provided. This is not the first time that in pro -Russian channels responsibility for the appearance and distribution of fakes in Runet is assigned to the Ukrainian special services. For example, it was already during the spread Fake screenshot Twita Ilona Mask, in which he allegedly obscenely sent the Supreme Rada of Ukraine, and images ticket Moscow metro with the inscription about the nuclear war.
