Fake In Kyiv, representatives of local authorities handed out instructions on “how to deal with Americans”

Such a fake was spread on social networks and social networks that broadcast pro-Kremlin rhetoric. The report says that before the visit of US President Joseph Biden, the inhabitants of Kyiv were handed out instructions on how to properly communicate with Americans, what can and cannot be done. Authors of messages add a so-called postcard with instructions. It is not true.

The Center for strategic communications noted that the Ukrainian authorities did not create such postcards, so they were fabricated. In addition, the instruction is full of spelling and lexical errors, for example: “you don’t need to run” or “how a Ukrainian should behave in a  meeting”. This indicates that the authors of the messages used automatic translation to create a supposedly official postcard of the local authorities.

Moreover, the Ukrainian leadership did not announce the meeting with the US President in advance. The authors created this “postcard” already at the time when the visit was officially discussed.

By spreading this fake, propagandists want to ridicule Ukrainians and make them look chucklesome. Allegedly, the Ukrainian leadership, before Joe Biden's trip to Ukraine, made sure that Ukrainians were not ridiculed.
