The fake document says that, allegedly, based on the results of the investigation, the “comprehensive commission” established the causes of the helicopter crash in Brovary near Kyiv. Allegedly, servicemen of one of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down a helicopter from the Igla MANPADS. The “document” is dated on the day of the accident, that is, January 18.

The command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied the fake. The design of the fake letter does not meet the requirements, numerous errors were made in the text. The investigation is currently ongoing, there is no official information on the results yet.

Probably, the fake document was distributed to discredit the Ukrainian army and its leadership in the eyes of Ukrainians. In anonymous telegram channels immediately after the crash, a lot of messages appeared with the so-called versions of what happened. Propagandists have used fake documents to discredit the Armed Forces of Ukraine before. In particular, it was alleged about the losses in the Ukrainian army.
