A screenshot is being circulated on social networks, allegedly from the website of the Delegation of the European Union to Ukraine, which indicates that due to the so-called mass protests in European countries, a decision was made to deport some Ukrainians.

“Yesterday the EU Council decided to extend restrictive measures against Ukrainians. 830 thousand Ukrainians will be deported from the EU until April 15, 2024”, the press release allegedly says.

The case was dealt with by the fact-checkers of the VoxCheck project, who investigated that the fake bots forged the screenshot and replaced the original text with information about “deportation”. Accordingly, the Council of Europe did not make such a decision.

Also included in the ad is a bot supposedly from the European External Affairs Service (EEAS), @EEAS_deportation_bot. However, there is no mention of this bot on the website of this European agency. And when one clicks on this “bot” in a search engine, it takes one to the TG channel, which is artificially trying to increase the number of audiences.
