☆ Fact Check-Military decree ordering cremation of deceased Ukrainian soldiers is fake
  + stars: | 2023-09-08 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
A military decree shared on social media ordering a Ukrainian unit to cremate the bodies of its deceased soldiers is a fake, spokespeople for the military brigade and Ukraine’s department for strategic communications told Reuters. It orders the A7052 unit to “organise a mobile crematorium” with enough fuel for five days, as well as gathering a stockpile of burial urns. A representative of the A7052 unit told Reuters that no such document or order had been issued. The number on the stamp is 07849800, but the EDRPOU number for unit A7052 is 26623365, as seen on public records of procurement tenders: here . Ukrainian authorities say the document, which uses the wrong identifying code of the military unit, is fake.

☆ Fact Check-No proof Ukraine’s defence ministry tweeted Zelenskiy was ‘naked clown’
  + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
A fake screenshot of a Ukrainian Ministry of Defence tweet that criticises Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is being shared online. However, an advanced Twitter search produced no evidence that such a tweet exists on the verified account of Ukraine’s defence ministry (bit.ly/42EgDFv). Media outlets would likely cover the country’s defence ministry posting such strong wording about a prospective president. Reuters also found no evidence of the tweet existing within archived versions of the ministry’s verified Twitter profile (here). Search engines and social media searches produce no proof that Ukraine’s ministry of defence posted the tweet on its verified Twitter account.

Latvia is sending cars that have been confiscated from drunk drivers to Ukraine. Latvia said it would provide two dozen seized vehicles to Ukraine each week. The government tasked the transport of the seized cars to the Agendum group — a Latvian NGO that delivers vehicles to Ukraine — who will donate them to the Ukrainian military and hospitals. "It's actually very scary when you realize how many cars are driving around with drunk drivers," Reinis Poznaks, founder of the NGO Twitter Convoy in association with Agendum, told Reuters in an interview. Last month, the Latvian parliament passed a law allowing the transfer of state-owned vehicles — usually sold or recycled — to Ukraine, according to Euronews.

Eight Russian armored vehicles lie smouldering thanks to one Ukrainian soldier, Ukraine's MOD says. He took out five tanks and three other vehicles in a single day in Donetsk, according to Ukraine. A social media post of the apparent feat included praise for the US-provided Javelin missiles used. During the fighting, the paratrooper took out the five tanks, as well as three infantry fighting vehicles known as BMPs. The Ukrainian MOD's video post was accompanied by text that said: "American weapon in Ukrainian hands works wonders."
