Russian social networks spread a fake about a film about "ancient Ukrainians"

In social networks, Russians are spreading a fake that an expensive film is being shot in Ukraine about how some ancient Uks dug up the Black Sea. This was reported by the SPRAVDI Centre for Strategic Communications and Information Security.

The Russian media also show an alleged poster of the film "The History of the Black Sea", which talks about "ancient Ukranians" who dug up the Black Sea.

Such a film does not exist and there is no mention of it on any Ukrainian resource. The Russians claim that the budget of this "film" is 80 million UAH, they would definitely talk about it, because it would make the "History of the Black Sea" one of the most expensive Ukrainian films," the report said.

StopFake noted that the "poster" also looks implausible: instead of the mark "18+" is indicated "+18".

The photo from the alleged "presentation" was mirrored and processed in a photo editor.

The original photo was taken back in 2021 - it was the cover of the broadcast of the presentation session of the competitive selection of film projects for funding by the state.
