In the Russian -speaking segment of the Internet, a photo of a poster allegedly hanging in one of the clinics of Lviv and forbidding foreigners to donate donor blood was scattered. We checked whether such an announcement existed.

On the poster with a viral photo it is written: “From March 1, 2023, a donor blood will be taken only if you are a purebred Ukrainian. Foreign citizens are prohibited to be donors. We ask you to treat these restrictions with understanding. ” The picture spread widely in specializing in the policy of Telegram channels. For example, he was published by a publicist Dmitry Vasilet (240,000 views at the time of writing this analysis), TV presenter Ruslan Ostashko (136,000) and political observer Yakov Kedmi (79,000). The ex-minister of defense of the self-proclaimed DPR also made a repost of the announcement in his channel Igor Strelkov (more than 600,000 views). The picture also appeared in Telegram channels "Zlaya Prof"(136,000 views),"Kostyan Cat - Official Channel"(104 000),"Military observer"(50,000) and others. Not so wide photography Distracted on Twitter, but several users Same Wrote About this, some - with links On the above Telegram channels. There is a couple publications About this and on the social network "VKontakte". From large media outlets, in particular, she wrote about the announcement “Komsomolskaya Truth".

The poster shows the logo of the Ukrainian medical online service Doc.ua, which is on its official Facebook page rejected Any involvement in the emergence of such ads. Representatives of the medical organization noted that they do not at all engage in donor blood fence or other procedures related to donation. In addition, doc.ua is Online service, with which you can sign up for a doctor, for a procedure or testing. The service itself does not provide any medical services at all, it acts only as an intermediary between the patient and the hospital.

Co -founder and chairman of the board Doc.ua Igor Liski He also said on his Facebook page that the company has nothing to do with the announcement. And at first he I counted The spread of the picture by machinations of competitors and even promised to pay $ 5,000 to those who would help calculate the ill -wishers. Then, seeing the publication in the Telegram channel Igor Strelkov, he made a fox conclusionthat this is the work of "Russian special services who want to destabilize the situation in the country."

In all the publications we discovered, the same photo of the poster has been used. Firstly, if Doc.ua belonged to a similar announcement, it would most likely hang in other clinics affiliated with the service, and therefore there would be more photographs from different institutions. But even if we assume that the announcement hung in only one hospital, it is difficult to imagine that no one more visitors to the institution made a single photo or video from another angle or at least did not talk about what he saw in social networks. At this moment, the only evidence of the existence of a poster is one picture in which, in addition to the ads, only a white tile is visible. Theoretically, it could be made in someone’s bathroom-no distinctive features that would testify that this is the premises of the medical institution (and even more so a specific hospital), the photo is not visible.

The earliest publication With a picture of the poster that we managed to find appeared in the Gasparyan Telegram channel with reference to a certain reader who sent the news: “The wife went to the reception to the gynecologist in the Lviv clinic at 5, I saw an announcement from the donor cabinet there:“ From March 1, 2023, a donation blood will be carried out if only donated blood will be carried out if only donated blood will be carried out, If you are a purebred Ukrainian.

The owner of the channel is Russian publicist Armen Gasparyan, who has already been “verified” Catch on the distribution of fakes in the same scheme. For example, at the end of August 2022, his Telegram channel appeared fast The fact that the library in German Hamburg allegedly collects books in order to heat with their help during the energy crisis. Gasparyan and then referred to a certain anonymous reader who sent him a photo and a short video. By the way, the publicist is under sanctions European Union for the "spread of narratives of the Kremlin propaganda." It also imposed sanctions from the side Canada And Great Britain. Thus, the honesty of the original source raises great doubts.

According to the address mentioned in the Gasparyan channel - st. Ivan Ogienko, 5 - located Clinical Hospital of the Lviv Railway, on an appointment to which you can really sign up through doc.ua. However, it is extremely doubtful that this online service somehow determines the policy of blood fence in the institution. If her administration hung a similar announcement, there would be no service logo on it.

In October 2022, a photo of a similar announcement that allegedly appeared in one of the Ukrainian clinics of reproductive medicine was already distributed. According to the poster, the medical institution decided to accept biomaterials "only from purebred Ukrainians who have no relatives in Russia." Then “verified” also disassembled publications based on a viral picture, and Not found evidence in support of their authenticity.

Taking into account the dubious source of information-the Telegram channel of the Russian propagandist, who, in turn, referred to an anonymous subscriber, refutation of representatives and owners of the service, whose logo is placed on the poster, as well as the absence of a photo or video of the announcement from another angle or at least oral evidence, we can conclude that this announcement of the fence of blood only purebred Ukrainians is highly likely Fake.

Most likely not true

What do our verdicts mean?

Read on the topic:

1. Is it true that in one Kyiv clinic, biomaterials are now taking only from purebred Ukrainians?
2. Is it true that by order of the United States in Ukraine they worked on a virus transferred by mosquitoes?
3. Is it true that it is possible to create a biological weapon, selectively striking people on a national basis?
