Ukrainian MP Falsely Shares Photo Of A Child From 2013 And Claimed He Just Survived A Russian Artillery Attack For War Propaganda
Ukrainian Member of Parliament (MP) Lesia Vasylenko is now facing backlash on Twitter for falsely tweeting a photo of a child that recently survived a Russian artillery attack. As it turns out, that same image was used as the cover for a 2013 book titled "The Forgotten Man."
Ukrainian Member of Parliament (MP) Lesia Vasylenko is now under fire for tweeting an image of a distraught little boy covered in dirt. She alleged that the boy had just survived a Russian artillery attack. In a now-deleted tweet, Vasylenko falsely claimed: “The saddest part: there are no children in #Ukraine anymore. Only little humans with very grown up eyes, old even. Somewhat tired of a life yet unlived. Pictured: Marc, 8 yo, just survived a #russia artillery attack.”
