In April 2024, a quote attributed to the Ukrainian star subsidified by social networks, according to which she “despises the suicidates” and explains with her husband in London that “not all men in Ukraine are so miserable.” We checked whether she stated this.
In most publications, the Fraimut viral quote is given in this wording: “I deeply despise the suicidants (slope. - Approx. Ed.), And I am disgusted from men who do not want to fight for their country. I am ashamed of the British, I do not know how to explain such the baseness of the suicidal. Here we are in London with my husband explain to them that not all men in Ukraine are so miserable. ” The authors of many posts considered the statement hypocritical and ridiculed the TV presenter living in the UK, who allegedly uttered these words.
According to the TGSTAT service, by the time of writing this analysis of Telegram, about 200 channels were told about the alleged statement of Freimut, whose publications almost 2 million views scored. So, channels wrote about this statement "Russia now"(251,000 views),"Observer"(214 000),"Open Ukraine | Open Ukraine"(211,000 taking into account the repost in the channel"Sheikh Tamir"),"Ukraine.ru"(132 000),"Petya the first"(87 000),"Denazification of Ukraine"(74,000),"Evil rabbit 18+"(72 000),"Gasparyan"(70,000),"Federation"(70,000),"The whisper of the front"(53,000) and others. Similar publications have become popular on VKontakte (examples here, here, here, here And here), Livejournal (here And here) And social networks X. In addition, some media outlets wrote about the quote, including the publication "Today.ru", Who took on this occasion a comment from a certain political scientist Alexei Belov.
Shortly before the start of a full -scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 Freimut together with younger children I went On vacation to France, and her husband, producer and general director of the Ukrainian “New Channel” Vladimir Lokotko, according to the host, then remained in Kyiv. Then Freimut with two children I moved to London. Ukrainian media ReportThat now the TV presenter and her husband on an ongoing basis live in the UK, but sometimes they come to Ukraine.
None of the posts mentioned above are indicated when and where the Freimut made the statement attributed to her about the slonists. "Verified" studied the verified Account Leading on Instagram, but did not find there records with a similar quote. It was also not possible to find such a statement in any of her interviews.
The quote diverged in the Ukrainian -language segment of social networks. Under one of these publications On Instagram, Freimut herself left her comment. "What is this? What husband? Whose text is this? " - wrote TV presenter.
Soon, Freimut published two storiz, in which she also refuted the authorship of the distributed quote. “During the war, I did not give and I will not give a single interview. The one who wrote this came up with a text with a primitive language. I don’t even use such vocabulary. I ask you to ignore ” - transfers Her words "RBC Ukraine". In addition, the TV presenter recorded a video message in which she stated that she plans to sue journalists for fake interviews with false quotes on her behalf (quote - according to the publication "Briefly pro").
Friends, since the war in Ukraine, I have not given a single interview. No, she gave one for BBC and GB News in the UK. She also gave an interview to Times, but I did not give an interview to the Ukrainian press. And the fact that now is happening and I attribute some quotes with Russism, a cheap language and vulgar thoughts is a planned attack on my name. My name is very important for me, so my lawyers are already looking for the one who wrote this news about the slope and attributed it to my quote. I hope that we will be able to sue and find the owner of this page (an _patriotu account on Instagram, the post of which was previously commented on by Freimut. - Approx. Ed.). Therefore, do not believe, please. Believe me.
In fact, the assertion of the presenter that from February 24, 2022 she did not give a single interview with the Ukrainian press is not entirely correct. So, on August 31, 2022, in the same publication “Briefly pro” (then it was called “KP in Ukraine”) was Published A large text interview with Freimut. She probably just forgot about that conversation.
As for the primary source of the false quote, they are some Ukrainian media called It was the above-mentioned Instagram profile _patriotu, where a post with a fake statement appeared on April 10. So He thinks And the editors of the Russian television channel Tsargrad: “Created by a certain channel _patriotu meme (probably for laughter or hype), clearly got out of control-the framework began to write threats and nasty things because of its position.” In fact, that phrase indicating the authorship of Freimut appeared on the social network X at least April 8, as evidenced by the screenshot given in many publications mentioned at the beginning of this analysis.
The screen shows that the author of Twita is a user under the nickname pan friend of the Sturmovik (@fightformak). This profile was Created in November 2023, and at the time of writing the analysis already Inaccessible. And although original link It also does not work for the post, “verified” confirms that the tweet from the screenshot really existed, since we discovered its preserved copy In the Google cache. We were not able to find publications in which this quote was given to the post @fightformak.
Thus, Fraimut was not an author of the viral quote about contempt for Ukrainian deviators. This phrase is neither in the social networks of the host or in her interview. In addition, the star herself publicly denied that she uttered these words, and the earliest appearance of this phrase took place in an anonymous and already remote profile on the social network X.
