‘Ghost of Kyiv’ never existed. Ukraine now admits it was invented to boost morale. Strange how no orgs ‘fighting disinformation’ interrogated it. Almost like whole US-UK ‘disinformation’ programme is actually just another form of information warfare. (www.bbc.co.uk)

Cancelled because too many white people still made it into the film.

The whites will be blacks in white face, like Eddie Murphy used to do.

Too many boomercons don't realize the US military hates them and wants to steal their money and rape kids

Next they're going to tell me that actually Ukraine isn't winning every battle and actually they've been losing on almost every front!

"We sunk a ship" they say, while crying about every city being occupied.

No brother wars, but if you need to shoot at each other be honest when you're hit.

No, no, you see not conquering the largest country in Europe (which clearly isn't the Russian plan) in a month is a total failure. e: oh, oh, I misread your comment. If Ukes have won every battle why is a quarter of their country gone? Hmmm?

‘Ghost of Kyiv’ never existed

As anyone with half a brain knew from day one.

Air-to-air combat is mostly a thing of the past. There's less and less of it in every war.

As an Ace Combat fan, if it had come from one of us the Ghost of Kyiv would have had anime girls painted on the wings.

A few died, the rest got captured but released. That did happen.

Classic “fact checking” by jester. The actual story being widely circulated was that the Ukrainian soldiers on the island were all heroically killed for defying Russia. The truth is a few died, most were captured and released. So no, “that” didn’t happen.

what narrative?

– RealDrJester 2 points 4 years ago +2 / -0

At the first few days, after that happened that was the assumption. In a combat environment, during war, when you can not communicate with someone and specially based after the ultimatum from a force that outnumbers or militarily better one assumes they are all dead.

Stop being retarded. Wait, you can't... My bad.

Another Snopes level of "deboonk" made by the stormcuck.

It was literally the truth. They did say that. That recording is real.

Do they assume that?

And yes, no contact, completely destroyed place, ultimatum from the black sea flagship of the invading country.

since they weren't the last words

It was the last word when everyone assumed they died. It is still literally a recording of the event.

Even when aiming for honesty, they write this piece months later, when we all knew this to be true a long time ago. Even the tweets from the air-force are over a month old.

samuyil Hydenski has gotten away with it again! even the Ukrainian government has officially disavowed his existence, no doubt to protect him from the Russian assassins.

I can almost get behind stories like this because of the morale boost it would give your own people.

But when the entire world started buying it and jerking off over it it starts to become an issue.

Thanks to social media, it's impossible to keep the story localized, not that the people circulating it cared.

I don't think they're intended to be a morale boost for their own people. I think it's more like the "protests" in non English-speaking countries where all the slogans and signs are in English: the international attention is the goal.

the stream of propaganda regarding Ukraine is still very dense. Right now i see news pieces pretending the Z are panicking and desperate, and there's nothing further from the truth.

I thought that was debunked days after it was released.

I guess it took them months to officially admit it was fake.

The West unconditionally believes what Zelensky says, and radically reject what the other side says. Apparently the newest way to sell the news.

I honestly don't get why there is still discussion of the ghost of kyiv. I thought it was already debunked ages ago that some youtuber/streamer made it up. But know i'm seeing portraits and people mourning his death. Wtf?
