An official Twitter Account of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the Name Генеральний штаб ЗСУ (@GeneralStaffUA) was caught sharing Fake News about the shooting down of a Russian Aircraft recently.
The Account, which was verified as “Official” by Twitter and has a Blue Check Mark beside its name, shared a Picture on March 7, 2022 with a Caption that said, “… Another aircraft of the Russian Occupiers lands on Ukrainian Soil …”.
However, it was noticed by Netizens like the Intel Slava Z Account on Telegram that the Picture was derived from News Articles of a Russian Aircraft that was shot down over Turkey back in 2015.
The original Picture was modified in that it was flipped both Horizontally and Vertically, then darkened on some Parts to make it harder to track down that it was modified. But thanks to the internet, they were caught.
Now if the OFFICIAL Ukrainian Government is so desperate as to start making Fake News like this about the War, then it makes you wonder how much more they have made recently? This Page will try to post them whenever it finds them.
Also, now that the Account has been caught manufacturing Fake News, will the American Company Twitter take action? Or will they just ignore it since they are unabashedly on the side of Ukraine anyway? That is the question.
