Soldiers speak Ukrainian, and one of them wears the Chevron of the Azov brigade. At the same time, an unknown person shooting a video calls Trump a fake president, a coward and a traitor because of his peaceful plan at the end of the war in Ukraine. The resources that spread the video indicate that this is only one of the episodes of a flash mob launched in Ukraine against the chosen president of the United States.
The video was published Russian And Belarusian Media, as well as Telegram channels "Sanya in Florida"(500,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Russia now"(198,000),"Uncle Glory"(191 000),"Putin in Telegram"(173 000),"Voblya • News"(150 000),"Ukraine.ru"(148 000) and others.
Donald Trump, in early November Winter Presidential race in the USA, during the election campaign He promised In the case of your victory, stop the war in Ukraine per day. Such statements were accompanied by hints that the role of the United States in the support of Kyiv would be revised. For example, in September Trump He called it Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky by the greatest merchant in history, which every time after visiting the United States allegedly leaves at least $ 60 billion (this not so). Trump's inauguration Assigned On January 20, before that, the presidential post continues to occupy Joe Biden. Representatives of his administration already They saidthat in the last weeks of their work will increase Kyiv’s support and pressure on Moscow.
Trump already announcedthat after the inauguration will appoint a special representative in Ukraine and Russia. The elected president settled on the candidacy of the 80-year-old General of Retired Keith Kallog. In the spring of this year Published Your plan to resolve the conflict on the site close to the Trump analytical center American First. According to him, the United States will continue to supply Kyiv weapons to contain new attacks of Russia, but only on condition that Ukraine will agree to the diplomatic decision of the conflict. It is also proposed to postpone the issue of Ukraine’s entry into NATO in exchange for security guarantees. Russia, in turn, can count on a partial lifting of the sanctions, but the energy resources sold by Moscow will be subject to duties to finance the restoration of Ukraine.
Although this document Maybe To become a starting point for the Trump administration, a publicly elected president did not present a single (and comparable in volume) version of the peace plan. In the media with reference to sources only appeared Information that close politics offer him different settings, by which he expresses certain comments.
On the eve of the presidential elections in the USA Zelensky introduced His “Plan of Victory” is both Trump and his opponent Kamale Harris, and after the victory of the Republican one of the first Congratulated his. Some Ukrainians who feared a reduction in help from a key ally, such an outcome of the election CALL anxiety. However, “verified” did not find information about mass flash mobs against Trump or the peaceful plans proposed by his associates in the Ukrainian press. The only evidence is the video that spread in Russian-speaking Telegram channels, on which the military burn books of the American politician.
In the second second, the video of one of the men on the right hand is visible “Azov”, a tactical unit of the National Guard of Ukraine. It was Formed In May 2014, as a battalion of the Police Police Police at the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. Already in September of the same year, Azov was reorganized into a regiment, and in November was transferred to the National Guard of Ukraine, becoming a military unit. Chevron from the video resembles the emblem of 2014, in the foreground of which was depicted a symbol resembling the Wolfsangel rune (representatives of Azov denied This connection), and on the back - the symbol of the Black Sun. This Chevron became the reason for the accusations that the "Azov" adheres to neo -Nazi ideology, which is actively I replicated and Russian propaganda.
When in September 2014 the battalion was transformed into a regiment, Chevron was Updated. From the modern Azov emblem, a symbol of the black sun was removed from the background and modified the main element, which, as claimed, symbolizes The idea of a nation (crossed letters I and N).
However, He said Ukrainian nationalist Alexei Reins, old-style chevrons are still allowed to use Azov veterans. They can also still be buy on marketplaces. It turns out that Ukrainian soldiers theoretically can wear a strip with outdated symbols of the unit, but officially it has not been used for more than ten years. In addition, the viral video shows that the patch with the emblem is attached to the right sleeve, although by rules Wearing a military uniform of the emblem of the unit should be located on the left.
At the seventh second of the video, another element is visible: on the chest of a soldier holding a machine gun in his hands is attached to the combined -arms Chevron of the APU. Firstly, according to the same rules, he should be on the right sleeve. And secondly, the trident on the Chevron is different from officially approved: it is more, and the teeth are more elongated and pointed.
The APU emblem on the chest of one soldier and the old Chevron “Azov” on the sleeve of the other are the only signs by which in the heroes of the video it is proposed to identify the Ukrainian military. Neither persons nor other insignia on the recording are visible. FACECHERS from the project "VOKS Ukrainian" They pay attentionThat a man commenting on his actions in the video says in Ukrainian with a noticeable Russian accent. Among the characteristic errors made by him: the pronunciation of the sound [a] at the site of the letter “o” in an unstressed syllable (according to the rules of Ukrainian phonetics, the sound [o]) and sound [and] in the place of the Ukrainian letter “and” (read as “s”).
The earliest publication With a viral video that was discovered “checked”, she appeared in the pro-Kremlin Telegram channel “Voice of Mordor” on November 26 at 13:40 Moscow time. This channel mentioned In many of our analysis, he has repeatedly become the primary source of inaccurate information about Ukraine and Ukrainians. So, the "Voice of Mordor" talked about Zelensky's transactions on the purchase Cyprus casino or blessing of Charles IIIBut all the evidence of such acquisitions was forged.
Thus, reports of the mass action, within the framework of which the APU soldiers allegedly burn Trump's books in protest against his peaceful plan, are confirmed by only one video that first appeared in a dubious Russian -speaking source. Moreover, many details of this video indicate that it is staged.
