Such information was disseminated in social networks, in particular, on telegram channels broadcasting pro-Kremlin rhetoric. The reports say that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii Zaluzhnyi did not appear at the emergency meeting of the National Security and Defense Council on June 6. Like, this once again proves that he disappeared. The authors add to the posts a photo published by the Office of the President and add that it has been edited with a photo editor. That is, according to them, Zaluzhnyi was added to the photograph. It is not true. 

Fact-checkers of the Center for Countering Disinformation explain that the photo has not been edited. To be sure, they used a special application to determine if the photos had been edited. Checking the photo gave no indication that the photo was compiled. Consequently, the authors of the messages simply threw in false information. Let us remind you that this fake is part of a series of propaganda stuffing about the “death” of the military leadership of Ukraine. So, the authors seek to demoralize the Ukrainians.
