Russian propagandists are spreading information that the heart of a 31-year-old German mercenary who served in the Ukrainian Armed Forces and was killed by Russians is allegedly being sold on the darknet. The price of such an organ is 70 thousand dollars. The propagandists add that the organ is in good condition and is sold exclusively to Germans. A screenshot of the ad from the darknet is added as “proof”.

In fact, this information is not true - the photo with the ad was faked. This is reported by the VoxCheck project. ​​The photo is not of a heart, but of the powerful drug opium.  Earlier some sites published the original ad for its sale in an article about illegal things posted on the darknet.

In this fake, the Russians combined two narratives at once - about “black transplantologists” and so-called mercenaries. Thus, they wanted to claim that foreign soldiers in Ukraine are treated as “cannon fodder”, and then “sold” for organs. The goal is to undermine foreigners' trust in Ukraine and reduce their support.

Pro-Russian resources are spreading information that the newly elected US President Donald Trump has allegedly been added to the Myrotvorets database. As “proof”, the propagandists are adding a corresponding screenshot.

However, this is a fake photo, the VoxCheck project writes. A search on the Myrotvorets website showed that Trump is not in the database of the same name. Also, the fake screenshot shows a different design from the original. For example, the real emblem of the official website is depicted as the continents of the world, and not just a map of Ukraine. The original website's “header” is also a darker shade of blue, as well as sidebars with a counter of the days of the Russian-Ukrainian war and information about other community projects.

The official Myrotvorets website reported that this is not the first time that Russians have created fake screenshots of the site, in particular about Trump, and passed them off as real. For example, we previously recorded disinformation that Polish President Andrzej Duda was added to the Myrotvorets database.

The Peacemaker Center is an independent non-governmental organization created by a group of scientists, journalists and specialists in the study of signs of crimes against the national security of Ukraine, peace, human security and international law and order.

Russian telegram channels are spreading information that Russian military personnel crossed the border with the Chernihiv region and installed a Russian flag on the bridge over the Sudist River near the village of Hremiach.

However, this information is not true. This was reported to the Center for Counteracting Disinformation by the representative of the State Tax Service of Ukraine Andrii Demchenko:

“There was no breach of the border. The Russian tricolor was installed on the destroyed bridge near the border, but the saboteurs did not enter the territory of populated areas. The area is under the control of Ukrainian forces and additional units are providing anti-sabotage defense”.

Also, the head of the Center for Counteracting Disinformation, the officer of the Defense Forces Andrii Kovalenko wrote on his telegram channel that there is no threat of Russian invasion of Chernihiv region, there is only a limited threat of sabotage and reconnaissance groups. He also added that “the story about Hremiach is false and is exclusively an information operation of the enemy”.

Earlier, we refuted the information that Polish politicians “flaunted” the Russian flag in the Vatican.

Russian sources are spreading information that NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte allegedly threatened newly elected US President Donald Trump to expel Americans from the North Atlantic Alliance. According to the propagandists, Rutte said that he would take such a step if Trump “handed over” Ukraine to Russia.

However, this is a fake, writes the StopFake project. In the context of Trump's victory, Rutte has spoken out only a few times. First, on November 6, he congratulated Trump on his victory and wrote that “his leadership will again be key to keeping the Alliance strong”. The next day, the NATO Secretary General commented on Trump's victory and its consequences for Ukraine before the start of the European Political Community summit in Budapest. According to him, Trump has done and will do a lot for the Alliance.

The above statements by Rutte contrast with the information presented by the propagandists. It should also be noted that the fake quote by Rutte was published only in the pro-Russian segment of the Internet. Not a single authoritative publication wrote about the threats of the NATO Secretary General against Trump.

Earlier, we refuted the information that a street in Kyiv was named in honor of the new NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

The Russians are distributing a video report on behalf of the American publication The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), which states that the newly elected US Vice President J.D. Vance allegedly twice - on November 6 and 7 - refused to speak to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andrii Yermak on the phone.

However, this video is fabricated. This is reported in the StopFake project. First of all, the WSJ did not publish such a video either on its website or on social networks (X, Facebook, YouTube). In addition, the video has obvious errors indicating its falsity. For example, J.D. Vance is called Vice President, although today the politician has not yet taken office and has the status of Vice President-elect of the United States. The current Vice President of the United States is Kamala Harris.

The video also quotes “political scientist” Dina Titus as saying that “the vice president has more important tasks now than to listen to Zelenskyi's Victory Plan once again”. While Titus could indeed comment on current political events, she is not a “political scientist” but a member of the US House of Representatives from Nevada. In the end, StopFake journalists were unable to find any confirmation that Titus actually made such a statement.

Let us recall that on November 8, 2024, it became known about a telephone conversation between the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi and the newly elected President of the United States Donald Trump.

Earlier, we analyzed the Russian fake news that Yermak called Macron a hypocritical politician for wanting to cut aid to Ukraine.
