Fake Deception about the menu in the cafe with inflated prices for Ukrainian soldiers
The pro-Russian segment of the network is spreading information that one of the Ukrainian cafes allegedly has a menu with different prices for civilians and military personnel. These menus are allegedly called “standard” and “for the military” respectively, with similar dishes and inflated prices for the second category. As “proof” of this, the propagandists add a corresponding photo.
However, this information is not true, as reported by the VoxCheck project.
Using Google's reverse image search function, it was possible to find out that this news is only being spread by Russian propaganda resources. The probable original source of the photo is the Russian Telegram channel Actually in Kherson. Neither the name of the establishment that allegedly has such a menu nor its address are known. Most likely, this is simply an edited photo or a staged shot.
Usually, such cases of discrimination against Ukrainian military personnel gain publicity in the media and social networks. However, no reliable Ukrainian publications reported on this incident.
Earlier, we refuted the information that some Ukrainian stores had introduced a 20% tax for Territorial recruitment and social support center employees.
