Заключна частина (висновок):

The dissemination of a staged video by the Russian IPSO, purportedly showing the death of a Ukrainian soldier, has sparked outrage and concern over the use of propaganda in the ongoing conflict. The fact that such videos are being distributed through Ukrainian social networks highlights the need for media literacy and critical thinking among the audience. Journalist Andriy Tsaplienko's involvement in sharing the video on his Telegram channel has added to the controversy, emphasizing the responsibility of media professionals in verifying and fact-checking information before spreading it. As disinformation continues to pose challenges in today's digital age, it is crucial for individuals to be vigilant and discerning consumers of information.

The journalists of "Military" analyzed the video, provided evidence that it is staged, and also tracked its distribution in some Ukrainian Telegram channels.

Russian propagandist Andriy Rudenko, who had already published staged videos before that, became the primary source of the video's distribution.

The video was filmed as if it was recorded from the GoPro camera of a Ukrainian soldier who was supposedly killed and then the camera was taken away.

The pacing of the video reveals several moments at once, which are clearly visible if the display is slowed down.

Two "assistants" of the actor, who were initially tried to be hidden by illuminating the image, fall into the camera frame.

When the actor imitates a serious injury and shouts about it, an unknown person appears in the frame again, standing still during the "fight".

Then an unknown person a meter away from the actor shoots on the ground - probably in order not to hit the actor and pretend that the enemy broke into the pit and finished off the "wounded fighter".

"Blood" did not flow from the actor when he was allegedly "injured", but only after he pointed the camera to the right place. Presumably, the actor at that moment released a bag with artificial blood or something similar in color, after which the "bleeding" of the "fighter" stopped altogether.

The camera flashes sharply as it zooms in on two unidentified people standing over the pit.

An unknown person standing full-length over the pit enters the frame.

Release of simulated blood when the camera is pointed at the desired location.

An unknown person shoots into the ground a meter away from the actor.

Also, at the beginning of the video, the gluing of frames is noticeable, which dramatically changes the location of the root on the ground.

Video gluing. The location of the root changes dramatically.

Apparently, the film crew stopped the video for a moment and accidentally touched this root, then continued filming.

In addition, an identifying mark in the form of blue tape was wound on the barrel cover of the machine gun, so that it was better visible on the camera. This should convince the viewer that this is indeed a "Ukrainian military man".

Despite the poor quality of the filmed material, the Russian IPSO center managed to spread this video through Ukrainian groups in the social network.

In particular, the journalist of the all-Ukrainian TV channel "1+1" Andriy Tsaplienko , who has more than 300,000 subscribers in this network, spread the "product" of the Russian IPSO in his telegram  .

The video also appeared on the All-Seeing OKO Ukraine Telegram channel (over 1 million subscribers) and the WARSHAL channel (over 100,000 subscribers).

Ukrainian channels added text to the description of the video, which was not in the Russian original source: "The terrible footage was captured on the GoPro camera of a soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Near Avdiivka, the Russians captured our stronghold and badly wounded it. No one came to help him, and he died 30 seconds later." 

Andrii Tsaplienko added his own conclusion to the description: " But help did not reach this Ukrainian hero in time."

"Military" also recalled that even before the full-scale invasion, propagandist Andriy Rudenko  distributed  official videos with "injured civilians."
