Last week, Russian media reported that on the weather forecast on Polish television, they showed a map of the country with the regions of the West of Ukraine included there. We checked the reliability of the photo, which was given as evidence.
The viral picture captures a TV, supposedly showing the weather forecast on the Polish TV channel TVP1. The frame behind the host shows a map on which part of Western Ukraine is included in the Polish state. “Lviv was marked on it as part of Poland. Also, the Polish territory marks the Ternopol, Ivano-Frankivsk, Volyn, Chernivtsi, Rivnenskaya, Zhytomyr, Khmelnitskaya, Vinnitsa and Transcarpathian regions of Ukraine, ”-January 17, 2023 They wrote "News". “In fact, Polish citizens are accustomed to the idea that Lviv and other territories of Western Ukraine will soon“ return ”to Poland,” the publication said "Military Review". Also about a viral photo with reference to the post of Telegram channel "Pool number 3"(199,000 views at the time of writing of the analysis) told" "Gazeta.ru" And "REN - TV". At the same time, they specified that there was no confirmation of the authenticity of the picture, since it was sent by subscribers. Among other media that replicates the news about the map of Poland with new territories, they were noted "Moscow Komsomolets","Moscow 24","Fifth channel","Truth.ru","Federal News Agency" And "Economics today".
In Telegram, the publication about the Polish card collected 115,000 views in TV presenters Oscars Kuchera And Ruslan Ostashko (It is indicated that the news from the subscriber who saw her on the Polish television channel). Similar posts are found in channels "Russia now"(341 000),"Scott Ritter in Telegram"(186 000),"From the scene"(145,000) and"Paragraph"(41 000). In the channel "The world of Mikhail Onufrienko"(335,000 views) believe that" Poland firmly intends to fight with Russia for the right to pan in Ukraine ", and in the already remote post"Reporter Rudenko v🇷🇺”(88,000) It was written that Vladimir Zelensky“ for supporting himself a loved one ”gave part of the country to Polish President Andrzej Duda. A similar thought is expressed in the channel "Ilya Kiva - ZOV blood"(30,000):" Once again I declare: Zelensky in 2020 agreed and sold the Western regions to Poland! " The viral card was shown on VKontakte (here, here And here), Twitter, "Zen"And on YouTube.
In all the publications we found, the same photo of the television with the framework of the broadcast of the weather forecast was shown, and the date and time of this broadcast were not indicated in any of the notes. Given that according to the results of 2022 tvp1 I took it The first place among the most popular Poland television channels seems extremely unlikely the situation in which there is no other screenshot of the broadcast of that program on the network.
We looked at several issues special weather forecasts for farmers ("Agropogoda"), as well as some releases standard forecasts translated through the TVP1 channel over the past few years. In all the videos there was a graphic design, very different from what is presented on the viral frame. Their only similarity is the same TVP1 HD logo in the upper right corner of the screen. At the same time, in all the issues we watched, the forecast was shown only for Poland, respectively, only the official map of this country was presented on the screen.
January 18 in the "Factcheck" section on the website of the TVP Info information channel It turned out A refutation in which the responsibility for creating a Polish map with the territories of Ukraine was assigned to Russian propaganda. “This material is fabricated and designed to convince the Russian public in theses distributed by Moscow. There was never such a material on TVP, and the logo was imposed on top, ”the official statement said. It is also reported that the true photo of the host of the TRWAM television channel was used to falsify, but in the original program it appeared against the background of a completely different map, where only Poland was shown without neighboring countries.
Our colleagues from Georgian facts projects came to the same conclusions "Myth detector" And "Fact-meter". They found out that a journalist was captured on the viral frame John Vysotskwho really worked on the Polish TRWAM television channel. We are interested in the weather forecast for us Spent As early as March 27, 2020, as can be seen in the same hairstyle, clothes and pose (at the mark 1:09 And on Prevertering YouTube video), as in a viral photo. In the original record of the broadcast against the background of the presenter, only the Poland card is highlighted, and in the officially recognized boundaries.
In addition, the Georgian facts noticed that the names of countries and cities on the map are written in Polish with errors: there are no corresponding Polish letters in the words, such as ń, ł, ó or ś. For example, the name of the city of Minsk on the viral map is written as minsk, although the right Writing - Mińsk.
It is problematic to establish an accurate source from which the spread of the viral picture has gone through, since many publications indicate that the photo was sent by an anonymous subscriber. We found the earliest record in VKontakte - in the public “I am Russian” (32,000 views), where the photo laid out January 17 at 10:57 pm Moscow time. “Now it remains to find out what it was: a fee for weapons, a coincidence, or just a technical problem,” the author of the post wondered.
Thus, the frame forecast for the Polish TV channel TVP1 is distributed in the Russian media and social networks - a fake. To create it, an unknown author imposed a mirrated figure of the leading channel on the background with a fake map of Poland, which includes the territories of Ukraine and where errors are made in writing Polish names of geographical objects.
This is not the first fake associated with TVP1. "Checked" already Disassembled The falsified story about Poland plans to create military LGBT divisions. In addition, we also wrote about other fake materials spreading the narrative that Poland would attach part of Ukraine to itself. Among them photo Bulletin boxes for a referendum on the exit of the Lviv region from Ukraine and its joining Poland, as well as picture The first lane of the Polish newspaper with the heading "Vladimir Zelensky wants to return Ukraine to Poland."
