Fake Residents of Lviv allegedly wear clothes with swastikas

Russian propagandists are distributing a photo of a woman wearing a T-shirt allegedly with a Nazi swastika and walking through the streets of Lviv. They say this is proof that Ukrainians are Nazis. However, this photo is 0 fake.

Specialists from the VoxCheck project drew attention to it. Using FotoForensics, a service that identifies areas of a photo with different compressions (which can indicate editing), they discovered that the swastika on the T-shirt was artificially added. Using an image search, the original version was found, in which the woman has a red T-shirt without any symbols.

The place where the photograph was taken was identified by the signs of the Alchemist and Welfare stores at 23 Svobody Avenue in Lviv.

Russian disinformation about Nazism in Ukraine is aimed at discrediting Ukrainians, reducing their international support, and justifying Russian aggression against Ukrainians.
