Fake: Ukrainian servicemen burned an effigy of US presidential candidate Donald Trump with the words: "You will never be president again." The corresponding video appeared on several russian Telegram channels, and later it was actively shared by pro-russian users of the X social network.

The truth: the people in the video are not servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. These are russian actors who play Ukrainian soldiers in trophy Ukrainian uniforms. The people in the video do not speak Ukrainian like residents of Ukraine, a strong russian accent is heard. This method of disguise has been used by the russians since the beginning of armed aggression. In particular, to discredit the Ukrainian military or the military-political leadership of Ukraine.
Journalists of Spravdi.ua report that the purpose of this fake is to discredit Ukrainian-American relations and bipartisan support for Ukraine in the US Congress during the 2024 presidential election. Now, similar fabrications will be generated even more actively on the eve of the US Presidential elections. Be alert! Check information from russian sources on our website.
