In 2025, Ukrainian authorities Launched The initiative to attract youth to the ranks of the Armed Forces. So the project appeared "Contract 18–24", In which young men and girls are offered to serve a year in any unit for their choice, having received monetary compensation and various benefits. In March, resonance caused an advertising video of the project, appearing In the official account of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense in Tiktok. On video A man standing at the McDonald’s restaurant, asks the question of how many cheesburgers can be bought for 1 million UAH, and then calls the answer - 15,625. At the same time, he adds: “I do not suggest you buy 1 million UAH chizburgers. I suggest you something else - earn 1 million UAH. ” Soon in Runet Disractible False publications on how in Ukraine they released an advertisement proposed to conclude a “youth” contract for the sake of many years of subscription to the Netflix streaming service and the game currency in Roblox. In addition, "verified" Disassembled fakes About the death of young people who have entered (or allegedly entered) in the Armed Forces under this new program.

Because there are more of them: there was one, but there were three! "Big Teist" is love! Just choose the size, ”is sung in the song.
Using a reverse search for the image in Google, it was “verified” that the original video appeared In Tiktok on April 1, 2025 and scored 2.1 million views there. It is noticeably different from the two months later along the Telegram channels-against the background, the Highway to Hell group AC/DC plays against the background, and the text “Sleep calmly, papul” and emoji of the broken heart are imposed on top of the video.
The video was posted by the user Anastasia Sirk. She signed the video like this: “Dad adored rock, and we could not bury him differently ... He wanted him to be buried under rock, under AC/DC. Forever 55 ... Our hero gave life for us. ”
Judging by the comments, not everyone liked such a ceremony. For example, one of the users wrote that the priest was allegedly shocked by what he heard. This is Sirk answeredthat this is not so, because he also loves AC/DC. The girl also noted that her father liked black humor and therefore he would surely appreciate the choice of song.

He died on March 23, 2025 in the Pokrovsky direction.
As for the primary source of the edited video, his earliest publication (among those that we were able to track) “tested” found in the pro-Kremlin Telegram channel “Shaman Rahu"(6200 views), where the corresponding post was released on May 28 at 15:30 Moscow time. Soon after, similar records appeared in other channels, among which "Odessa public television z z"(15:31, 9200 views),"Kryminforum 🇿 🇴 🇻"(15:34, 9500),"Tasking News"(16:47, 1600) and"Bear"(17:04, 3300) - All They repeatedly Found V ours parsing Like the primary sources of misinformation. At the same time, Shaman Rahu is not the first time It comes across On the publication of other people's videos from Ukraine with a changed audio road.
Thus, the viral video from the funeral was edited.
