In October 2024, the screenshot of the post on Facebook spread on social networks, where the unnamed APU soldier reports the murder of two civilians in the Kursk region. We checked the authenticity of this image.
On October 15, the Telegram channels became a viral screenshot of the publication, allegedly placed in the Zina Derzhavi community (“price of the state”-Ukrainian) on Facebook. The post contains a photograph of bodies sprinkled with earth, and a signature in Ukrainian: “In the photo, one of the villages released the 61st Ombr in the Kursk region. In the pit, there are a grandfather and his grandson, who decided to give us resistance. We continue the extermination of the orcs. Glory to Ukraine! " “One of the Ukrainian Nazis ... decided that it would be a great idea to“ boast ”with his atrocities on the whole Internet,” commented on the screenshot in the Telegram channel “Russia now"(193,000 views at the time of writing this analysis). He was also published, for example, “Uncle Glory"(180 000),"Military leader"(110 000),"The diary of the obscurantists | Z"(94,000),"What happened? " (82,000) and "Tsargrad-TV"(76 000).
The 61st separate mechanized brigade (OMBR), which is discussed in the screenshot, really Participates In the invasion of the Armed Forces to the Kursk region, which has begun August 6, 2024. During the operation, the Ukrainian military occupied part of the territory of the Russian region, including the border city of Suju. It is the military of the 61st OMBR announced About taking this settlement three days after the start of the offensive.
Page "Tsina hold"On Facebook belongs to the same project of the analytical center" Case Ukraine ". The description of the profile says: "An educational project that explains to the Ukrainians how much the state costs and what their taxes are coming to." The content placed on this page is dedicated to the expenses of the budget funds of Ukraine and the economic position of the country, and the war on war is extremely rare in the profile. As a rule, they relate to the collection of funds for the needs of the army.
However, the reverse search for the virus screenshot showed that for the first time the picture was also published by the “cinema”, but the signature for the original post, posted on October 13, is strikingly different. In it, the project announced a fee for the purchase of a car “for a more effective implementation of combat missions”, and in the photo, it is allegedly captured by the bodies of an elderly woman and her son from the village “freed from 61 brigade fighters”. The photo is presented as a "consequence of the Horde presence." What kind of village is it, it is not specified, but it is clear from the context that in the original post we are talking about the murder of peaceful Ukrainians by the Russian military, and not vice versa.
When comparing this post and the distributed screenshot, it is clear that the text and time of publication are distinguished. There are no other entries for October 13 in the “Tsna Derzhavi” profile. Most likely, to create a screenshot, the publication was edited by the reader in the browser through the change in the page code. "Verified" earlier already disassembled such fakes and toldHow this method is used for misinformation (with its help you can change, among other things, the time of publication).
The screenshot with a fake signature first appeared in the Telegram channel "Ukrop Fresh”October 15 at 15:20 Moscow time. The authors of the post claim that many photo and video evidence of the “atrocities” of the Ukrainian military in the Kursk region are available on the Internet, but most of them are “shot by Russian cameras, which can easily be interpreted as a fake of Russian propaganda”. “But here the militants surpassed themselves and themselves posted their crimes on the network,” writes Ukropsky Fresh.
As before It wrote “Checked”, this channel is far from the first time creating and spreading such fakes. The authors of the Ukrop Fresh take real statements and reports of the Ukrainian authorities and the military and add false parts to them. The objects of their attacks are often the pages of Ukrainian departments, organizations and non -profit projects in social networks, as in the case of the post of “Zina Derzhavi”. So, in February 2024 at Ukrop Freche told About the Kharkov second -grad man Ivan, from whose family the military supposedly took accumulations. The basis of this fake was the publication of the ITS_Kharkov blog on Instagram. In the original news, which appeared there two weeks before fasting at the Ukrop Freche, it was said that the boy came to the Marking Center in Kharkov to transfer the gloves bought by him for his pocket money. Parents of Ivan Confirmed The fact that was present at the presentation of the gift, but noted the fantasy of the authors of the channel.
Not all posts of the Ukrop Fresh are distributed on the network as widely as the forged screenshot of the Tsina Derzhavi project, but there are many similar content in this channel. Just a couple of days before the publication of the viral image there appeared Message about "Celebration by the command of the 92nd Oshbr of failure in the Kursk region." The fake was taken as a basis fast Ukrainian activist on Facebook, but in the screenshot, the author of the Ukrop Fresh replaced the Donetsk direction with Kursk in the text and removed fragments in which a visit to the wounded military in the hospital was mentioned.
Thus, the Ukrainian military did not publish a post on Facebook, in which he showed the remains of two civilians who were killed by him in the Kursk region. The screenshot was forged, and its basis was the publication of a Ukrainian non -profit project, from which it follows that the photo captures the consequences of the Russian occupation of an unnamed settlement in Ukraine. The primary source of Fake was the pro-Kremlin Telegram channel, which has repeatedly been convicted of creating such disinformation.
