An edited screenshot of what is allegedly a post by Ivanka Trump on X (Twitter) is being actively circulated on social media. In it, she supposedly describes a “Ukrainian Halloween”, claiming that TCC employees dressed as ghosts knock on doors, demand a $500 bribe, or take men to the front. The “post” is accompanied by a (supposedly humorous) video showing a detention.

Analysts from the VoxCheck project drew attention to this manipulation.

This is a classic manipulation.

The original post was published not on Ivanka Trump’s official account (@IvankaTrump), but on a fan page whose description clearly states: “This is a fan account, not affiliated with Ivanka Trump”.

Propagandists deliberately cropped the screenshot to hide this disclaimer and present the fake as authentic.

There is no such post on Ivanka Trump’s official account (11+ million followers, verified), and there never has been one. She does not comment on mobilization issues in Ukraine.

The video itself is staged and was filmed in occupied Donetsk.

Reverse image searches in Yandex and an analysis of the metadata show that the man in the video is Mykola Huseinov, an actor from the so-called “Donetsk Republican Youth Theater” (on occupied territory). This is a typical Russian staged production, created for propaganda outlets.

The purpose of such disinformation drops is to create an atmosphere of fear, chaos, and injustice around the TCC, so that men avoid mobilization, go into hiding, or even flee abroad. Fakes about “manhunts”, bribes, or a “TCC Halloween” are meant to demoralize society, fuel anti-government sentiment, and complicate recruitment into the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
