In January 2024, a video diverged in social networks, in which a man is supposedly outraged by the design of price tags in a Ukrainian store: the price there is indicated not only in hryvnias, but also in rubles. We checked the authenticity of this record.
In the second half of January, a nine -shuttle roller was encouraged in Runet, which was reported, was shot in Kherson. On the record you can hear a man in Ukrainian in an obscene form turning to the ATB chain of stores: according to him, he does not understand why the price of goods in rubles is indicated on the price tags. At the same time, the frame in close -ups demonstrates prices in hryvnias and rubles for tomatoes and cucumbers, allegedly purchased in the Ukrainian supermarket. In many publications ApprovedThat “Ukrainians are preparing for changes”, and ruble prices are needed in order to “make it more convenient to count”. “Apparently, awareness and understanding comes very quickly with everyone. Except for the main ancient deck ” - says One of the most popular signatures for the video.
This video was posted as authors of large Telegram channels, including "Three heroes and Zelensky addict"(187,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Sheikh Tamir"(146 000) and"Kostyan Cat - Official Channel"(96,000), and many smaller channels:" "Mikhail Onufrienko"(27,000),"Kryminforum 🇿 🇴 🇻"(16,000),"Netonenkor Kurlaeva"(14,000),"Nasurabi"(14,000),"In fact in the Dnieper"(11 000), Zanoza (10,000), "Bear"(8000),"In fact in Kherson"(7000) and"Kherson.ru"(7000). About Kherson price tags in rubles also wrote public in VKontakte (examples here, here, here And here) and some News sites.
On February 24, 2022, Russia began a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, and by March 3 troops of the Russian Federation Installed Control over Kherson. September 30 following the results of the "referendum", the results of which the UN General Assembly Not recognized overwhelming majority votes, Russia formally Annexed the Kherson region along with the administrative center. However, on November 11, the Armed Forces of Ukraine during a counterattack Returned Control over the city. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov at the same time declaredthat for the Kremlin, the departure of Russian troops from Kherson will not change the status of the Kherson region.
On the viral record, the price tags on cucumbers of the first grade (73.64 UAH, or 173 rubles per kg) and greenhouse tomatoes (96.63 UAH, or 227 rubles per kg), glued to the frames, fell into the frame. It is indicated that the vegetables were packed on January 19, 2024.
The video drew attention to Ukrainian facts from publications "Ukrinform" And "Ґvara Medіa". They Markthat at the ATB supermarkets, such stickers-experts for vegetables and fruits are not used: products from these categories for customers are weighed already at the box office. Such stickers, according to “ґvara Medіa”, are used in the chain of stores only for weight sweets and bakery products of their own production. Journalists as evidence bought Sweets in one of the ATB supermarkets and compared a real price tag with what is shown in the video. It turned out that another design is used on a genuine sticker and there is a logo of the ATB network, which is absent in the video. In addition, supermarkets use the word “packed” instead of “packaged”.
In the catalog goods On the site "ATB" the cost of a kilogram greenhouse tomatoes and greenhouse Cucumbers of the first grade It is 89.89 and 119.95 UAH, respectively. At the same time, on the network website, these positions are indicated in the plural (on the video - in the only one), and simple (not greenhouse) cucumbers of the first grade are completely absent. Note that the addition of "1 variety" in cucumbers appears only when searching for Russian -speaking Site versions. All prices are indicated exclusively in hryvnias.
The price tags from the video indicated that the purchase was made in Kherson in a store on Vishneva Street, 159. However, according to map On the site "ATB", a network supermarket at such an address is not located. In fact, there is a store on Vishneva Street, but he located Nearby - in the house 157/71.
Finally, at ATB-Market, a viral video was called a fake. So, head of the Department of Communications of the Corporation Sergey Demchenko declared The publication "Ukrinform" that information on prices in rubles is fake and in the ATB stores in Kherson this was not. Journalist "ґvara Medіa", in turn, I directed it The question in the social network of the company, where most of the above arguments were repeated and denied that they publish the cost in rubles: “ATB chain of stores sells goods only in state currency-hryvnias and does not cooperate with the aggressor country”.
The spread of this fake in Runet took place according to the traditional scheme: the video to different pro-Russian Telegram channels sent, judging by the comments, a kind of anonymous subscriber. So, the earliest such publication among those that found “verified” appeared on January 22 at 17:01 Moscow time in the channel “Shaman Rahu"(3600 views), which previously Facing In dozens of our analysis. After a few seconds, a similar post with a note “from the reader to the bot” appeared in the channel "The newspaper "Special Forces of Russia", magazine "Scout""(1700 views).
