In June 2024, a video allegedly released by one of the Ukrainian media and dedicated to attempted murder due to a language issue was dispersed along social networks. We checked its reliability.
It was reported that in the Kharkov region, a 16-year-old girl saw that her younger sister included on the tablet the Russian animated series Masha and the Bear. Angry, she allegedly stated that “Katsapshchina had no place in Ukraine,” and began to strangle her sister. In evidence, a 27-second video is given in Ukrainian, containing photos of the injured girl. The authors of the video refer to information from social networks.
This story spread widely in Telegram, where the channels shared it "Russia now"(238,000 views at the time of writing this analysis), Voblya (151 000), "Sheikh Tamir"(137 000),"Special operation z"(26,000) and"Pavel Onishchenko"(21,000).
After the start of a full -scale Russian invasion in 2022, the attitude towards the Russian language in Ukraine worsened. According to polls The Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, in 2023, 52% of Ukrainians believed that the Russian language should not be taught in schools (in 2019 only 8% of respondents answered), and 81% of respondents did not want it to be the language of official communication in the country or in their region. At the same time, more than 80% of Russian-speaking residents of Ukraine noted that they did not feel any oppression-for example, some regional television channels work for them. In July Enters By virtue of the new law, obliging licensed broadcasters, duplicate any foreign language content on Ukrainian.
“Verified” did not find information about the incident in the Kharkiv region neither in Ukrainian -language publications on social networks, nor in the messages of Ukrainian information agencies, nor on the sites of law enforcement agencies of the region. Thus, at least a statement about the prevalence of this information in the local media space is not true.
In the first frames of the viral video, you can see a logo with the inscription "Apostrophe Stream".
"Apostrophe" - a large Ukrainian media that has mine TV channelbroadcasting throughout the country. You can watch its programs, including at the official site and in YouTube. In the second case, in the lower left corner of some videos, you can see a very similar orange logo, but its right edge is rounded.
Such videos have other distinctive features - in particular, an indication of the time, the running line at the bottom of the screen, as well as the main logo of the channel in the upper right corner. The viral video does not have these signs.
“Verified” studied records available on all main Internet resources of the Apostrophe TV channel. None of them have shots that are included in the video that dispersed through the Telegram channels. Reverse search for blurry photographs of the girl led to publications 2017 about the death of six -year -old Amina Mengo from Krivoy Rog. As installed later consequence, the adoptive parents of the girl, whose cause of death was not unequivocally established, dismembered and burned the body of the child, and the remains drowned in the lake. It is the photos of the deceased seven years earlier by Amina who were used in the video about the conflict of two sisters in the Kharkov region.
The remaining fragments of the video are illustrative and are not directly related to the alleged attempt on murder.
FACHECHERS from the project "ґvara Medіa" Turned In "Apostrophe TV" for comments. Representatives of the channel replied that the video on their air was not demonstrated, and the information contained in it was not voiced.
The first video about the conflict between the two sisters in the Kharkov region was published by the Telegram channel "Sheikh Tamir"June 6 at 17:46 Moscow time. Earlier he repeatedly mentioned in parsing "Checked»As the primary source of misinformation about Ukraine.
Thus, the video about the young Ukrainian who was trying to strangle his sister for watching the Russian cartoon is not true. As a victim, the video shows a girl who died in 2017. The Ukrainian media, whose logo was used in the record, did not release such a video on its resources.
