A photo of the allegedly sunken Russian ship Vasily Bykov, circulated on Ukrainian Telegram channels, near the port of Odessa turned out to be fake.

The authors claimed, with reference to the Naval Forces of Ukraine (VMSU), that the ship was allegedly hit and soon sank. However, upon closer examination of the published image, it turned out that the Estonian civilian vessel Helt was captured on the frame.

Judging by the outlines of the hull, it is a long, flat deck with a superstructure at the back. Such decks have ships Helt. The dark area on the left is the nose. However, for the Vasily Bykov ships, the superstructure is located in the front part closer to the middle of the hull.

According to Igor Ilves, manager of the management company Vista Shipping Agensu, the Estonian ship sank after hitting a mine.

“The ship has completely sunk. Two crew members are on the raft, and four more are missing , ” Izvestia reported the words of Ilves .

On the morning of February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the nation and announced the start of a special operation to protect Donbass from Ukrainian aggressors. The Russian leader stressed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine resumed massive shelling of residential areas of the LPR and DPR. Kyiv ignored attempts to resolve the conflict through diplomacy, so Russia decided to provide military support to the self-proclaimed republics. According to VTsIOM, this decision is supported by every third Russian polled.

The Russian Defense Ministry has repeatedly stressed that the fire is only on military infrastructure, and with high-precision weapons. However, at the same time, stuffing and unreliable information began to appear on the network more and more often. Each message should be carefully checked with official sources.

Earlier, 5-tv.ru said that a torture chamber was found in the village of Kryakovka.  From this settlement, the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired at the positions of the LPR for eight years.
