"He was supposed to bury as many as eight fathers". Ukrainian center warns

The Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation warns against Russian disinformation portraying staged war events, including manipulated images of a man with a dog and a boy at funerals. These narratives falsely claim that Ukraine is fabricating the consequences of Russian attacks. Some images were generated by AI, while one authentic photo was linked to a real incident involving damage from an attack. The boy, Ruslan, has participated in funerals to honor fallen soldiers, countering claims that he is an actor. This disinformation campaign is part of a broader Russian narrative that has previously included false accusations regarding war crimes in Bucha.
