The Facebook account \u201cGeorgian Conservative\u201d, which often shares posts containing disinformation (1<\/a>;\u00a02<\/a>;\u00a03<\/a>), published a photo with the following caption: \u201cA video appeared where a policeman pours blood on a doctor’s coat from a children’s hospital. This is footage of a children’s hospital being bombed in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the video posted by the Facebook account, a man dressed in white scrub can be seen, behind whom a policeman is standing and pouring artificial blood. With the mentioned video, the propagandists indicate that after the bombing of the \u201cOkhmatdyt\u201d hospital, the photo published on their Facebook page showing the doctor with bloody clothes is staged.<\/p>\n

On July 8, 2024, the \u201cOkhmatdyt\u201d children’s hospital published pictures on Facebook, where the situation after the bombing by Russia was captured<\/a>. One of the photos shows a doctor wearing bloody clothes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In reality, not the doctor\u2019s photo distributed by the hospital, but the video distributed by \u201cGeorgian Conservative\u201d is staged to discredit Ukrainians.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian fact-checking organization \u201cStopFake<\/a>\u201d verified the mentioned information. They state that the video was staged by the Russians, but they missed a few details and because of this it is confirmed that this information is forged.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkhmatdyt\u201d hospital has published only one image of the doctor, where he is seen from the back. However, other photos can also be found. For example, Ukrainian journalist Kristina Berdynskykh<\/a> published a photo of a doctor from a different angle on social media.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first difference – in the video released by the Russians, the \u201cdoctor\u201d is wearing different shoes:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

– Doctor’s shoes from a photo of a Ukrainian journalist<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

– Doctor’s shoes from a video shared by Russian-language accounts<\/p>\n

The second difference – the people in the photos and videos are wearing different clothes. For example, in the photo published by \u201cOkhmatdyt\u201d, the doctor’s pants have a pocket on the back, and the shirt has a seam. However, the clothes of the \u201cdoctor\u201d in the video does not have such details.<\/p>\n
