Disclosure Someone spread information about payments to “everyone who has a Ukrainian passport”

This was recorded by the fact-checkers of the “Brekhunets” (Liar) project. They explained that in the Ukrainian segment of social networks, in particular, in the local Volyn telegram channels, they disseminate information about the payment to Ukrainians in the amount of 6,600 hryvnias. As the authors note, one only needs to have a Ukrainian passport to receive a reward. The posts also contain a number of references allegedly to regional banks, while at the same time, the authors urge people to follow their links.

Fact-checkers assured that such information is not true. There are no payments “to all Ukrainians”. The links themselves in the publications lead to random telegram channels that have nothing to do with this or that regional bank. It is most likely that in this way channel administrators seek to artificially recruit and increase the audience.

The fact-checkers also found out that the Ukrainian Government and the UN International Organization for Migration will pay a one-time assistance in the amount of 6,600 hryvnias. This will apply to people affected by the explosion of the Kakhovka HPP made by Russians. Perhaps the authors manipulated precisely this information, luring people into their telegram channels. However, channel administrators did not provide any official information on such an initiative.
