Russian propaganda media and Telegram channels are spreading an edited video allegedly taken from a broadcast of the Ukrainian TV channel “Kyiv”. In the clip, a man presented as a serviceman proposes “chipping” all mobilized Ukrainian men in order to prevent unauthorized absence from their units. In reality, this is a fabrication.

Ukrinform reports this.

The propagandists altered the image of the program’s guest using graphic editing tools and overlaid a fake audio track. The fake was shared, among others, by the Russian so-called “opposition figure” Yuliya Latynina.

In the original news broadcast on November 11, the host was speaking with Dmytro Kukharchuk, Deputy Commander of the 3rd Army Corps of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The discussion focused on the issue of unauthorized absence from units and the situation in the Kupiansk direction, but no statements about “chipping” servicemen were made. The fake video features a completely different person.

At the same time, Russian Telegram channels are spreading a photo allegedly from a Ukrainian school, where a so-called “desk of shame” was supposedly installed for children whose parents went AWOL.

This image is also fake – it was generated by artificial intelligence. This is confirmed by AI-detection services such as WasitAI, Reversely, and DecopyAI.

Both fabrications are part of another Russian information and psychological operation aimed at inciting conflict between the Ukrainian authorities, the military, and society.
