First Deputy Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the UN Dmytro Polyanskyi published a fake photo with an allegedly captured tank. Twitter users said that the photo was taken during NATO exercises in Germany, and the “tricolor” was painted over.
First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, Dmytro Polyanskyi, on Friday, March 3, reposted a fake photo on Twitter of a Leopard 2A5 tank allegedly captured in Bakhmut, writes Focus.
In the propaganda message that Polyansky spread, it is about the alleged capture of an undamaged Leopard 2A5 by the Russian side. The post is accompanied by a photo of a tank with the Russian tricolor “installed” on it. The picture was clearly modified with the help of a photo editor.
The date and place are also marked on the photo: “Artemivsk [Бахмут]. 01.03.2023, 08:40”.
This is a good start. More to come – stay tuned! – wrote the Russian diplomat in English.
Social network users, for their part, in the comments to the publication said that the photo was actually taken during NATO military exercises in Germany a few years ago. The flag of the Russian Federation in the picture is simply sketched.
The famous meme was also published in the comments, which depicts the official representative of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, who talks about the fact that the Russian army has already destroyed 60 HIMARS, 20 aircraft carriers, 30 “Pokemons”, 10 “Avengers”. , 5 “Supermen” and 4 “Joe Bidens”.
