In 2024, the reports dispersed in social networks that bio -dentures can be handed over to one of the pawnshops of Ternopil, and in Kyiv, on the contrary, they allegedly refuse to take on their weapons and explosives. We found out whether the evidence that accompanies these statements is true.
Ternopil and prostheses
At the end of February, a photograph of advertising spread in Runet, placed, as reported, on the facade of the building in Ukraine. “The pawnshop in Ternopol began to take prostheses at the Zahisniki (defenders. - Approx.

The name of the pawnshop is not shown in the distributed picture.

According to pictures and signatures on the facade, in a pawnshop, you can lay branded things, watches, equipment, jewelry, as well as bioonic prostheses.
Using Google Maps search, FACHERS from the ґVARA MedIA project found outthat a similar pawnshop is not in Ternopol, but in Kyiv. He is included in the network "Sail" And Located at Goloseevsky Prospekt, 106/2. The Google Maps has a photograph of this compartment, almost identical to the virus image. Picture published Back in January 2022, but instead of an image of a bioonic prosthesis of the hand, it shows a drill-shurupe brand Bosch with the signature “Take a tool”.
In an interview with the factor "ґvar Media" representative of "Sail" Refuted Information on the provision of a loan on the security of prostheses. Journalists of the project "Without Brechni" also Contacted With a pawnshop, where they were confirmed that the photo with the prosthesis was edited, since the design of the entrance group did not change. “This was not and cannot be,” said the interlocutor.
Kyiv and weapons
After a couple of months, in early May, the second photo appeared - this time supposedly from Kyiv. Often the picture is accompanied by this signature: ““ Weapons, explosives and military uniforms are not accepted ” - such an entertaining announcement appeared in the Kiev pawnshop. Apparently, all the EU’s assistance usually changes to three pennies with “Shcheryy (from the Ukrainian“ badge ” -“ sincere ”. - Ed.) Ukrainians.”
According to TGSTAT, more than 50 publications about this announcement appeared in Telegram, which have gained about 210,000 views. Among the channels that posted the photos - “Military observer"(70,000 views),"Another Ukraine"(22,000),"Olesya Loseva"(15,000),"Nasurabi"(14,000) and"Bear"(13,000). Some of these channels also published false recordings of a pawnshop in Ternopol ("Another Ukraine","Bear","Nasurabi"). Similar posts are found in public in VKontakte (examples here, here And here) and on news sites.
In the photo, the name of the pawnshop is not visible, and only three Ukrainian -speaking inscriptions are placed on the front door: “Entrance”, “Operating mode: from 9:00 to 19:00” and the announcement itself. Its text in translation reads: “Dear friends, despite martial law in Ukraine, we remind you that we do not accept: any weapon, explosives, and military uniforms. Leave these things to the other military :) ”
If you reversing the virus image in the service Google Lens, the search engine will report that the photo most likely shows the “exclusive” pawnshop. He located In Moscow at Kronstadt Boulevard, 3, p. 3. And one of the Photos This pawnshop, loaded with Google Maps in February 2018, is very reminiscent of a picture allegedly taken in Kyiv six years later.
Original Viral photography appeared in September 2018 in the Yandex Card service. There are significant differences on it: for example, all inscriptions are made in Russian. So, the name “exclusive” is indicated on the doors, and instead of announcing the failure of weapons, a sheet with a Russian phone number and work schedule are hanging (from 10:00 to 20:00 seven days a week).

Thus, both distributed photos were edited. In the case of the “Ternopol” pawnshop, unknown people used photos from Kyiv, taken no later than January 2022, and with “Kyiv” - a photo of a pawnshop in Moscow in 2018.
