In December 2023, shots from a video allegedly shot and shown in Ukraine were dispersed on the Internet in order to reconcile a society with the current state of affairs at the front. We checked whether the company Film.ua created such a video.
According to the news, the Ukrainian film company Film.ua “prepares an audience for 180 degrees”-on its YouTube channel, a video was allegedly launched in which the dead fighters of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces were launched: “It was not a bounces of it” (Ukrainian. “It was not worth it”). It is alleged that in this way, the inhabitants of the country are preparing for the adoption of the theses "the counterattack failed" and "it was necessary to sign peaceful initiatives in Istanbul." Media publications and posts in social networks are accompanied by a nine -second video allegedly recorded from the official Film.ua page on YouTube.
The news was distributed, in particular, publications "Mriya","Tsargrad" And "Bazformata", As well as numerous Telegram channels, among which"Russia now"(225,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Sheikh Tamir"(123,000),"Peacemaker"(68 000), Rogandar News (45,000) and "Baibaiden"(42 000).
Film.ua Group - large Ukrainian Group of companies In the field of film and television production. She has its own channel on YouTube With almost 4 million subscribers. This account is verified, next to it there is an appropriate icon. But there is no such checkmark on the viral video.
In the mobile version of YouTube, next to the channel name, there is no verification icon (as in the case of other accounts), but the entire design (from fonts to flowers) is completely different.
“Verified” did not find any traces of a viral video on the Film.ua Group on the Film.ua Group. There are no references to the Ukrainian media, although potentially very resonant (given both the topic and the size of the audience), the broadcast should not bypass the mass viewer.
Photos of the dead fighters of the Armed Forces for the video were taken from a special Ukrainian memorial site. There are on the site chapterdedicated to how to correctly and ethically talk about this sensitive topic. Obviously, the creators of the viral video did not receive permission to use these photographs, because its idea (“revitalization” of fighters and their attachment in the mouth of a defeatical idea) contradicts the position of the memorial platform.
FACHECHERS from the Stopfake project Turned In Film.ua Group for a comment. There, the presence of such a video refuted: “Of course, for us this content is unacceptable, and such videos did not appear on our official YouTube channel.”
According to the TGSTAT service, the first resource that distributed the viral video in Telegram was December 8 at 11:50 Moscow time Russian TV presenter's channel Olesya Loseva. “Verified” previously dismantled other cases when fake spread began from this channel photo And video About Ukraine.
Thus, the video spreading in the media and social networks, apparently, is fake. It is not on the Film.ua Group YouTube channel, the details in the screenshot do not correspond to the design of this account on the platform, in the group of companies itself the existence of the video, and the news diverged after the publication in one of the Russian torn Telegram channels.
