Such information was disseminated on social networks, in particular, on telegram channels broadcasting pro-Kremlin rhetoric. Reports say that the German satirical magazine Eulenspiegel recently published a cover featuring Zelenskyi outraged by the Polish president. At the same time, Andrzej Duda says on the cover: “it is obvious that the Ukrainian counteroffensive is a failure”. It is not true.

The fact-checkers from the VoxCheck project investigated this case and found out that the German magazine did not publish an issue with such a cover. The fake cover of the magazine states that this is the eighth issue, although the magazine of the eighth issue looks completely different - and this can be checked on the official website of the publication.

We have repeatedly debunked fake news regarding fake graffiti or covers on foreign magazines/newspapers or advertisements. Thus, propagandists seek to show that their rhetoric (for example, that Zelenskyi is hated by the whole world) is also repeated in the West. So it may seem to readers that the public is really dissatisfied with Ukraine. And especially when the authors use elements of popular culture, hinting that people are laughing at the situation in Ukraine and that the Ukrainian agenda for Europe is a reason to laugh.
