A fake created from someone else’s photo. This is how Putin’s thugs’ propaganda works. Here is an example of cynical disinformation. A collage with the caption “children—victims of a terrorist attack in Starobelsk” is not proof of a tragedy, but a crude manipulation of information. This image is a collection of old photos found online of completely different people who have no connection to the alleged event. Among them are photos from social media, public and long-known images that have been circulating online for many years. In fact, the photos show: Top row (left): a girl whose selfie was taken from old personal profiles on social media (such as Pinterest) from the past. Center of the top row: Katerina Yuryevna, a Ukrainian blogger. Her black-and-white selfie was also copied from open sources. Top row (right): a girl next to a sculpture, whose photo was taken from casting platforms. Bottom row (from left): Boris Kipriyanovich (“the little guy with Mars”). This is a very famous photo on the internet showing a Russian boy who gained notoriety in the media in the early 2000s for his claims about a “past life on Mars.” The photo of his children has nothing to do with current events. Middle of the bottom row: a young man from a Scouting organization. This is an original photo of a member of “Plast” (the Ukrainian National Scouting Organization), taken during one of the official camps. Bottom row (right): a photo of a girl wearing a light jacket, taken from Ukrainian online platforms. Propaganda sources combined these random photos from the internet and added a fictitious date (May 22, 2026) to present them as “victims of shelling.” The goal is to provoke shock, hatred, and an emotional reaction, and to discourage critical thinking. When propaganda lacks real evidence, it steals other people’s photos. Even photos of children. Verify the information. Run a reverse image search. Don’t become a spreader of lies! Because today they stole someone’s photo to fabricate a story. Tomorrow they might steal yours.

🔴 More than 50 Ukrainian children have been killed by Russia in 2026 alone. According to the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, as of May 2026, 705 children have been killed and at least 2,527 children have been injured as a result of Russia’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine.

Надо будет обязательно выяснить, потому что именно из-за этого они проигрывают. Десятки тысяч россиян, как в эмиграции, так и внутри России, могли бы пойти сражаться за Украину, если бы в Украине на высоком уровне не было бы принято решение начать расчеловечивать россиян.
