At the end of July, 2025, the photographs of a young man who came to a protest in Kyiv with a spitz and a poster “I am a dog, and Zelensky” went on social networks. It is reported that the demonstrator was brought a case under an article on brutal handling of animals. We checked the reliability of this news.
Telegram channels publish two pictures of a young man with a dog who allegedly participated in recent protests in Kyiv. A poster with an insulting inscription about Vladimir Zelensky is visible on them next to Spitz. Personnel is often accompanied by a photograph of the agenda to the court, which allegedly came to the activist after participating in the protest - according to the investigation, the use of a dog during a political action can be regarded as brutal handling of animals. As the Telegram channels specify, in accordance with the Criminal Code of Ukraine, the suspect faces a penalty from a fine of 50,000 UAH to imprisonment for a period of three years.
News about the case against the Kyiv activist published Telegram channels "Solovyov"(241,000 views at the time of writing this analysis),"Ne. Sahar"(204 000),"Uncle Glory"(172 000),"Putin in Telegram"(160,000),"Voblya • News"(123,000),"Emergency / Crimea"(130,000),"Rhymes and news"(78 000) and others.
July 23 in large cities of Ukraine Started Protests against the bill adopted the day before, which deprived the two main anti -corruption bodies of the country: the National Anti -Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the specialized anti -corruption prosecutor's office (CAP). In accordance with the new law, control over their activities should have passed to the general prosecutor. The next day, in response to mass discontent of citizens, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky Brought For consideration by the parliament, a bill regaining independence to anti -corruption bodies. Verkhovna Rada Accepted Its July 31.
In the photograph of the agenda distributed by Telegram channels, it is stated that the Dnieper District Court of Kyiv summoned a man in the case of animal cruelty on July 29. As explained later, cruelty was manifested in relation to the dog of the Spitz breed, which the suspect took with him to a rally on July 24. The name of the recipient of the agenda and his address in the photo are smeared.
Visually the agenda is similar to Official documents Ukrainian courts, but there are a number of differences. For example, on the form there is no signature of the responsible person or the seal of the court. The upper part of the document reports on administrative office work, and a certain set of numbers is also visible, but this cannot be the number of the case. Firstly, it has 13 digits, and in other matters Dniprovsky District Court Only nine. Secondly, judging by the open YouControl database, the numbers of cases considered in this court begin with numbers 12, and in the picture-with numbers 22. In addition, if the first meeting was supposed to take place on July 29, some documents should have appeared in the open access, but on the court of the YouControl basis and the official website Ukrainian judicial system There is no corresponding entry.
Moreover, in Ukrainian legislation there are two compositions of offenses related to cruel treatment of animals - they are described in Article No. 89 of the Administrative Code And Article No. 299 of the criminal. If you believe the signatures in the upper part of the proposed agenda, the activist is charged under the administrative article, however, the following Good reasons for the failure to appear And The consequences of non -consumption Corresponding to the Criminal Procedure Code. If the authors of viral publications are right and the man will still be judged under the article of the Criminal Code, there are no relevant data in the agenda. In particular, in it must be indicated The procedural action, in which a person is called to the court, as well as the names of the investigator, the prosecutor and the judge, their signatures and the place of the meeting. Although the address of the Dniprovsky district court itself is given correctly, as a rule, in this column indicated The hall in which the hearing will be held, as well as the name and surname of the judge.
In addition to formal errors, the text has grammatical ones. So, in the right column of the accused is asked to bring a passport to the court, but the Ukrainian word “additionally” is written incorrectly: “Dadatkovo” instead faithful "Dodatkovo." FACECHERS from the Ukrainian project "ґVAR MedIA" They paid attention And on stylistic inaccuracy: in the upper part of the agenda, which refers to the reason for the call to the court, it is reported that the man is accused of cruelty to animals, namely, with the dog of the spitz breed. It is unlikely that such an accurate description of the dog will be included in the agenda - these parts are usually indicated only in the case file. As a rule, our colleagues note, this part of the document does not describe a crime, but an article is indicated in the violation of which is suspected of a person.
As for the images of a dog with a poster, a photograph of a spitz lying on a paving stones appeared on the network on July 24, in the midst of protests. The earliest post that has found "verified" Placed In the social network X user @brazzers_don at 16:44 Moscow time. He accompanied the picture with the Russian -language signature “The base from the dog from Ukrainian protests”, without specifying where it was made. An hour later by photography Shared Another user X, who reported that it was made in Odessa.
A photo of a dog in the hands of the owner began to spread only on July 29, along with a dog’s picture and a fake agenda. At a careful examination, it is noticeable that animals in two photographs, allegedly taken on the same protest, differ: the wool at the dog, which the demonstrator holds in the hands, is longer and lighter. More indicative, the difference in posters with an insult to Zelensky: if in one picture he is rumpled, crookedly cut and the size of a spitz, then on the other - even and about half as much.
In addition, both pictures contain artifacts characteristic of generated images - for example, people's legs merge with each other, and the background is blurred in some places. Tools for identifying the generated content Hive and SightenGine assessed the likelihood that both pictures were created using AI, as close to 100%.
For the first time a collage from generated photos and an image of a fake agenda appeared In the Telegram channel "Shaman Rahu" July 29 at 12:46 Moscow time. This channel is often Found In the analysis of “tested” as the source and distributor of fakes about Ukraine.
Thus, the story of a call to the court of the Kyiv activist, who came to the protest with the dog, was completely invented. Photos of a man with an animal are generated with the help of AI, and a picture of the agenda, which was supposedly sent to this non -existent demonstrator, contains numerous signs of fake.
