In July 2025, a photograph was encircled on the Web, which allegedly captures the ATM screen in Ukraine. If you believe the picture, the device did not return the client a card and suggested contacting the military registration and enlistment office about this. We checked the authenticity of the distributed image.
It is claimed that the photo is demonstrated in the photo, located in Ukraine. At the same time, the device shows the user an error message: “Your card will remain at the ATM. For details, contact your TCC and SP (territorial center for completing and social support, an analogue of the Russian military registration and enlistment office. - Approx. Ed.) ” Based on this picture, the authors of some Telegram channels Made The conclusion is that so Ukrainians of draft age are forced to come to the TCC when they use ATMs. Reportedthat such “more sophisticated methods” of replenishment of troops developed the Ukrainian authorities. “There are simply no words, as they are already not mocking people in Ukraine. Their bloody earned and then do not take off ... Until they demolish the junta, it will be even worse, ”writes Telegram channel“In fact in the Dnieper"(16,000 views at the time of writing this analysis).
According to the TGSTAT service, more than 100 similar Russian -speaking posts appeared in Telegram, which in total gained about 330,000 views. Channels wrote about the picture "Abu"(62,000 views), Nina Vatt (32,000), "Kovpak detachment"(19,000),"Lev Scharan"(18,000),"Zek in the war"(17,000),"Kryminforum 🇿 🇴 🇻"(14,000) and others. Popular posts with a viral photo are in X, one of Twitov I received 50,000 views. Similar publications are found on VKontakte (examples here And here), Facebook And on YouTube, as well as on news and entertainment sites, among which "Politicus" And Joyreactor.
Similar posts and notes trace the standard features of fake. Firstly, the same picture is given in the same publications, and the authors do not indicate in which settlement it was made. If in Ukraine, banking cards of recruitment citizens through ATMs were really massively seized, then Ukrainian -language users of social networks would have written about this, which would share similar pictures taken in different cities. However, “verified” did not find such messages.
Secondly, the earliest publication with a viral picture (among the tracked “tested”) did not appear in the Ukrainian-language segment of the network. Initially, the photo was posted on July 2 at 17:11 Moscow time in the Prochremleovsky Telegram channel "Nonal news"(2500 views). Previously, this channel has repeatedly mentioned In our analysis as a distributor, and in some cases the primary source of fakes. For example, in “frivolous news”, falsified photos were published before everyone, which captures advertising Services in the Ukrainian army for the sake of subscription to Netflix and the game currency in Roblox, as well as announcement On the contract with the Armed Forces of Ukraine for men over 60 years old. In less than a minute, a similar post from the ATM photo appeared in the Telegram channel "Shaman Rahu"(6200 views) - He He became The hero of several dozen refutations “verified”.
Thirdly, there are no reports of such seizures of bank cards in the Ukrainian press. On the contrary, “verified” found several refutations there. So, Ukrainian state Center strategic communications and information security, factskeeping project Stopfake and agency "Ukrinform»Name a photo for a fake. Moreover, according to factor, the device in the photo is more like not to the ATM, but to the Privatbank terminal to pay for different services (the device uses the interface characteristic of the devices of this financial institution and its branded colors).
Finally, if you draw a reference search for a distributed image, you can find a similar picture published on the network a few years before the start of a full -scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. Similar result It will be possible to achieve in Google on request "Privatbank Terminal Error." That photo was Published On June 27, 2017, on the website "Svidok.info" - the image was an illustration in the material about failures in the work of Privatbank terminals.
The terminal in the photograph of eight years ago gave the user a mistake with the code TS200944 - the same can be seen in the picture that became viral in 2025. However, in the old photo on the screen there was not a word about TCC or bank card. The text of the error sounded like this: "Your operation will be processed later." At the same time, in the lower part of both images you can notice the same details in the reflection: for example, people in the same clothes, as well as the same menu elements.
Two pictures, in addition to the text of the error, have other differences. So, the version of 2025 on top and bottom is noticeable green elements of the device case, which are not in the old photo. Angles and glare on the white part of the screen differ, and the font in the new photo does not coincide with used V terminals Privatbank (this is especially noticeable when comparing the letters “a”, “e”, “l”, “d” and “h”). In addition, the circle of red smile is noticeably distorted. All this indicates that the image of eight years ago was changed in the photo editor.
Thus, in Runet, a fake photograph of the Ukrainian ATM, allegedly not issuing a card and sent it to the TCC, parted. The picture, which became the basis of a fake, was taken no later than 2017. It captures the screen of the terminal of the Ukrainian bank, on which there was another text. Previously "verified" Disassembled A similar fake with a fake photograph - in 2024 it was falsely reported that the Ukrainian ATMs set a limit to withdraw cash for male draft age.
