Russian diplomats published a photo of a seriously injured girl in disguise without verifying the origin of the photos.



In one of the photos, the "injured woman" poses in front of the camera, clearly fooling around. Russian diplomats, having published the photos, signed them:

Ukrainian fakes and propaganda work perfectly.

As it turns out, the photos were taken in 2016 during a first aid training session run by the Ukrainian organisation TacCat, with the actors portraying the victims.

one of the actresses wrote on Facebook:

Enemy propagandists stole my 2016 training photos from Instagram and passed them off as a successful exposé of a special operation by the Ukrainian IPSO [Centre for Information and Psychological Operations] with staged videos in Kherson.

The biography of one of the actresses who took part in that old footage is also interesting. For instance, in 2019, she played one of the main roles in Ukrainian director Valentin Vasyanovich's film Atlantida, which won a prize at the Venice festival. But as the actress is a doctor by main profession, she now runs a tactical medicine instructor's department at the Ukrainian foundation Return Alive.
