Is it true that in Ukraine children are taught to cook the “burning“ Crocus ”dish?

In June 2024, the social network went around an advertisement for a culinary master class for children, which mentioned dishes with provocative names. We checked whether one of the Ukrainian restaurants organized such an event.

In the screenshot, you can see an ad in Ukrainian, allegedly placed on Instagram. Translated into Russian, it reads: “A children's master class on the preparation of copyrights and, most importantly, patriotic dishes in the Babyrock restaurant network: 1.“ Lastening “Crocus” ”(pizza with pepperoni); 2. “Belgorod under the wreckage” (Napoleon cake in our version); 3. “The wreckage of the Crimean bridge” (Free potatoes with a fragrant burger); 4. “The Angels of the Donbass under the wreckage” (ice cream with strawberry syrup and chocolate crumb ”). Do not lose time. Write down your child for a fun master class. ”

Many Telegram channels were outraged by the names of dishes that unequivocally referring to the deaths of peaceful Russians. Among such channels - ""Uncle Glory"(192,000 views at the time of writing this analysis), Voblya (143,000), "Ukraine.ru"(137 000),"Kirill Fedorov / War History Weapons"(112 000) and"The first folk"(102 000).

The viral screenshot indicates an account, the owner of which allegedly placed an ad, @Babyrock.kyiv. Such a profile on Instagram exists, it belongs to the Ukrainian project Babyrock.

At the time of writing, there was no viral announcement or other publications of similar content on the page. This could be explained by the fact that the publication, judging by the design, appeared in the story, which are available only within a day. However, the viral screenshot is the only circulating on the Web, and it was supposedly made a minute after the announcement. It turns out that the reaction to the story of the user who made this screenshot was instant, but with all the inconsistency of the post the next day there was no one who would look at the Babyrock page and record the publication again. It is significant that that only screenshot, judging by social networks, was practically not discussed in the Ukrainian -language segment of the Internet - it was distributed only by pro -Russian accounts.

In the Babyrock viral image is presented as a network of restaurants. However, it follows from the information on site Organizations, neither the word "network", nor the word "restaurant" is inappropriate here. Babyrock is a space in the center of Kyiv, positioning itself as “a children's gastrocafa, a city camp and a platform for children's holidays”.

There are other signs that the screenshot dispersed through Telegram is fake. In particular, a stock photo of a young cook Used Russian cafe And pizzerias For Advertising Culinary master classes.

FACHECHERS from the project "ґvara Medіa" Contacted With representatives of Babyrock. They stated that the distributed screenshot is fake, and the information presented on it is not true.

The first picture was published by Telegram channel "Shaman Rahu"(3400 views) June 6 at 16:45 Moscow time. This channel repeatedly mentioned In the analysis of "tested" as the primary source of misinformation about Ukraine.

Prochremple Telegram channels often publish such screenshots and other materials designed to demonstrate the “heartlessness” of the inhabitants of Ukraine to the death of peaceful Russians and even gloating in relation to them. Often such records are fake - So it was, for example, with a photograph of brands allegedly released in Ukraine, dedicated to the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall. But the news about the appearance of the Crocus City set in the menu of the Kyiv art bar “Ofenziv”- Real.
