In June 2024, there were reports that the Kiev Metro developed a special design of transport cards dedicated to a month of pride in Telegram channels. We checked the reliability of such publications.
In early June, Telegram began to extend the image of a new pass to Kiev public transport, and the signatures for the picture stated that the design was represented by the Kyiv metro. Similar posts placed, for example, channels "The world of Mikhail Onufrienko"(236,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Tucker Carlson for Russia"(63,000),"Black Sea pirates: fascist Pokemon"(54,000) and Nina Vatt (39,000). The news also fell into the publication of some Russian Media and users Facebook, "VKontakte" X And Livejournal.
In many countries of the world in June, a month of pride is celebrated (Pride Month) and hold measures that attract attention to the problems of the LGBT+community, call for tolerance and the struggle for equal rights. According to pro-Russian Telegram channels, it was to the pride of the Kiev metro that timed the release of a transport card in a new design. However, on site and metro pages in Facebook And X There are no references to the updated travel.
In the lower part of the card from the viral image, there is a logo and the inscription “Kyiv Digiriy”-this is an online service for residents and guests of the capital of Ukraine, in which users can pay for various services, learn about cultural events held in the city, participate in votes about landscaping, as well as buy travel tickets for public transport. On the site "KIIV digital"And in the mobile Appendix Only two designs of travel tickets are presented: for a one -time trip and for an updated transport card.
None of official resources The service is not mentioned by the updated design of the traveling room, the release of which is allegedly dedicated to a month of pride.
Judging by the publications of the Kyiv Digital Service in Facebook And Telegram, the last limited series of transport cards in unusual design was released in December 2021-then instead of traditional blue in the design of 5000 travel, snow-white was used.
In correspondence with factor from the Georgian project "Myth detector"Representatives of the Kyiv Digiriy service denied the news about the release of a transport card dedicated to a month of pride, and called the viral image a fake.
The earliest publication about the passage dedicated to Pride, which was “checked”, appeared in the Telegram channel “Tucker Carlson in Russian and others"(16,000 views) June 4 at 12:59 pm Moscow time. This channel repeatedly mentioned In ours parsing as a fake distributor about Ukraine, the USA and the EU countries.
Thus, reports about the new design of the transport card in Kyiv are not true. There are no references to this innovation on the resources of the Kyiv metro, and the Kyiv Digiriy service denies the release of such a travel card.
