A fake with the participation of a pregnant model about the “bombing of Mariupol” by Russian troops was exposed
The Ukrainian authorities accused the Russian military of launching an airstrike on one of the Mariupol maternity hospitals. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky made a sharp statement on this matter.
It appeared on his Twitter page as a comment on a video of damage to the maternity hospital building.
Zelensky accused the Russian army of a "war crime" and demanded that NATO close the sky over Ukraine, declaring it a no-fly zone.
What kind of country is this, the Russian Federation, which is afraid of hospitals, is afraid of maternity hospitals and destroys them?
- Angrily exclaimed the head of the Ukrainian state.
There were also publications on this topic in the Ukrainian press. It claimed that 17 people allegedly became victims of the bombing.
But in this stories inconsistencies were visible from the very beginning. For example, on March 7, the representative of the Russian Federation to the UN said that in the maternity hospital No. 1 of the city of Mariupol, which was discussed, the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine settled down, having previously dispersed the hospital staff. And Zelensky himself, shortly before his provocation, stated that there was no electricity and water in the city, all medical institutions stopped working, and their employees were evacuated.
Even on the video itself, published by the President of Ukraine, inside the maternity hospital you can see only broken furniture and broken windows and doors, but there are no bodies killed by “Russian bombs”.
There were also shots on which you can observe the "surviving after the airstrike" woman in labor. Subsequently, this fake about the “bombing of Mariupol” (with the participation of a pregnant model) was exposed by the Ukrainian Telegram channel “Signal”. The “victim of aggression” was recognized as the Ukrainian model and beauty blogger Marianna Podgurskaya, who often posts her photos on Instagram.
The girl is indeed pregnant, but she could not “lie” in the maternity hospital, which had long been occupied by neo-Nazis from Azov. The girl was given things in her hands, made up and brought under the cameras
- marks the channel.
It can be noted that the fabricated charges against the Russian military are very similar to those organized in Syria and a number of other places. It seems that their authors act according to similar patterns. And it is important not to ignore such fakes, which are a powerful tool of information warfare.
