Russian propagandists are distributing a photo of a supposedly special offer in one of the Ukrainian clothing stores. The information sign allegedly states: "For veterans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a 50% discount on the purchase of one boot."

However, this information is not true, the VoxCheck project reports. Using the Google reverse image search function, a video with this advertisement was found. The video shows that information about the promotion is posted in a fitting room of a store. However, the name of this store is not visible either on the sign or in the frame, despite the fact that the store name is usually duplicated in the announcement of the promotion.

Also, the design of the advertisement often uses the store’s corporate fonts and colors. However, the advertisement about the alleged discount for disabled military personnel has an extremely minimalistic and non-commercial look. Anyone could print such an ad and hang it in a fitting room, and then shoot a video and pass it off as a real campaign.

After all, the ad used the word “disabled”, although the correct word would be “a person with a disability”. And customers from Ukraine did not report existence of such a campaign. Instead, the primary source of this video is a Russian propagandist Armen Hasparian.

Earlier, reports were refuted regarding claims that young people in Kyiv were invited to “lie in a coffin”, and that individuals of draft age were offered a discount.
