Information is spreading on social networks that Ukrainian refugees in Germany allegedly beat a Slovene because he was holding the flag of Slovenia, which they confused with the Russian one. There is also another version of the event, according to which a German of Slovenian origin hung the flag of Slovenia near his house. A video with him got on the Internet, after which the Ukrainians allegedly beat him. At the same time, propagandists use a video that shows the logo of the European edition of Euronews. However, this is fake.

Specialists in the StopFake project drew attention to it. They could not find a single fact confirming that this event actually happened. In addition, there is not a single mention of such an incident in open sources and German media, as well as on Euronews itself. StopFake notes that this story was only spread by foreign propaganda resources and telegram channels.

By creating and spreading such fakes, propagandists want to discredit Ukrainian refugees. Like, they are uneducated and ungrateful, because they attack everyone with flags that resemble the colors of a Russian. Detector Media has repeatedly written about how Russian propaganda humiliates Ukrainian refugees, in particular, as a manipulation that a Ukrainian refugee allegedly destroyed a monument to the Polish military.
