Propagandists are distributing on anonymous telegram channels a video that was published by the 1+1 channel and is part of the United News telethon. It claims that the Ukrainian counteroffensive is a successful information-psychological special operation against the Russians. However, this is fake.

Specialists from the VoxCheck project drew attention to it. The video is distributed exclusively by Russian and pro-Russian sources, information from which was first published in the Sheikh Tamir telegram channel. There are no such records on the official resources of “1+1”. Errors were found in the video itself and outdated or Russian footage was used.

There is also an error in the video. From 00:25 to 00:28 the phrase is heard: “Russians are prone to a powerful psychological attack”. In Russian subtitles this text is translated as “Russians are subject to a powerful psychological attack”. The word “subject to” is a mistranslation of the word “subject to”. In this case, the words “subject to” or “experience” should be used. In addition, the video of the counteroffensive used old footage or recordings from Russian sources. For example, the moment with the husband in the hood is part of the video for the song of the Russian group “Hudson”. Another episode with military equipment and Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers is a clipping from a video by Military Television and Falcon Studio, published back in 2015.

Propagandists spread such fake news to discredit the Ukrainian armed forces. They say the counteroffensive was not successful. Detector Media has already refuted other Russian fabrications on the topic of a counteroffensive.
