In April 2023, the information diverged in the media and social networks that in Ukraine they mobilized a man who had specially chopped off his fingers so as not to fight. We decided to check if this is so.
In articles and posts with this news, a video is used as evidence, where a person in military uniform and without two fingers holds an automatic machine. The man who is behind the scenes speaks in Ukrainian that he wanted to avoid calling and chopped off his fingers, but he was still taken away, so this method “does not pass”. Media such as "wrote about the video"Russian newspaper","Notebook","Public news service","Arguments and facts" And "Morning South". This news is also popular in blogs ("Picabu","Zen"), Her shared Users social networks. IN Telegram channels Messages about the fighter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine without two fingers Get tens of thousands Views And reactions, and the authors of the posts accompany the video with signatures like “the scale of the madness of Ukrainian mobilization is completely conveyed” and “advanced Ukrainian technologies”.
In most posts and articles, the video is posted in a horizontal format, it is not clear who its author is and where it was placed for the first time. However, in some publications, in addition to the video with a story about an attempt by a man to “echo”, they lay out a continuation - a video with an explanation of how to shoot without two fingers. The same sunbathing voice is heard on it. Unlike the first, according to this video, it is clear that it is taken from Tiktok, the author’s nickname is also visible - @oleggirasimchuk3.
Judging by the rest of the video in this account, its owner is a military man who periodically removes his colleagues. There is in his profile and became a viral videolaid out on April 6, 2023. In the comments under the video, the author discusses with subscribers that this is a joke. The video itself is also well heard by a sunset laughter. Unlike the circumcised version, which was dispersed through the media and social networks, the original video has a signature with a large number of brackets, which confirms the words of the blogger and his subscribers.
Answering the subscriber’s question how to shoot without fingers, already on April 7, the user @oleggirasimchuk3 posted one more videoWhere he showed “nanoprostheses” (a mechanism from aluminum wire), which supposedly give out those fighters who have no fingers. The comments also discussed that this was just humor. In addition, the blogger shed light on the history of the hero of the video - he said that it was a former carpenter who came to the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a volunteer. Several commentators note that they know this man personally, indirectly confirming the veracity of history.
Thus, in the Ukrainian army, a man who does not have two fingers on his hand is really fighting, but the story that he allegedly cut them off specifically so as not to get to the front - this is a joke that many took for the truth.
