Ukrainian media presented photos of Christians killed by ISIS in Iraq as Assad’s atrocities in Aleppo
Odessa journalist Yuri Tkachev on his Facebook page exposed journalists from the Ukrainian resource depo.ua, who published a photo report under the heading “This is hell: after the assault by Assad’s army, the streets of Aleppo are strewn with the bodies of the dead.”

“First photo: a dead woman in a wheelchair. Indeed, it looks like Aleppo, and the photo is relatively recent (the first appeared on December 6 on Twitter of the Turkish newspaper Aksam). Looks like it's true.
The second photo is a collage. Looks like Turkish too. Made as an illustration for, yes, Syria. It is necessary to sort out all the photos separately. Papizzhe.
The third photo, a man is carrying children past either a truck or something like that. also real and even almost fresh (December 2). The fourth is also genuine, published by Ahmad Muaffaq from Al Jazeera.
The trash starts from the sixth photo. Let's go. Dead children, a woman in a burqa - victims of a chemical attack in Ghouta, a suburb of Damascus. 2013 year.
Seventh photo. Dead children again. But this is not Aleppo. And not Syria at all. These are Iraqi Christians. Killed there by the kindest bearded men, for whom they are drowned “only for dill.”
Eighth photo. A man with a child. Also Syria, and even Aleppo, too, but December 2015.
Ninth photo, a man with two children covered in blood. Palestine, 2014.
Tenth photo. Dust and a dead child. I didn't find the original because it's too popular. We interpret any doubts in favor of the accused, so let it go to Syria too. However, no later than 2013.
11 photos. A woman with a child. Aleppo, you won't bother.
12 photos, girl in front of a pickup truck. A fragment from the video of the Lebanese singer Hiba Tawaj “Al Rabih Al Arabi”. those. just staged shooting.
13 photos, dead children against a yellow wall. Iraq, 2012.
Let's summarize. Of the 13 photos, 5 have nothing to do with Aleppo, which is confirmed by a very cursory check. Moreover, some of the rest have nothing to do with the “assault of Aleppo by Assad’s troops,” but this, of course, is trivial. I won’t give a damn about the rest either: we need to check in more detail, but we, I repeat, interpret doubts in favor of “only for dill”
5 out of 13. Third. Moreover, the harshest photos (dead children, etc.) are fake, or rather, not related to the assault on Aleppo by Assad’s troops.
Well, that's the icing on the cake. The material does not contain ANY photos taken, as we were promised in the headline, AFTER the assault on Aleppo.
Not a single one.
This is Ukrainian journalism. Masters of hate speech.
And then you are surprised that in our country people have become crazy. Yes, here we should be surprised not at this, but at the fact that someone else survived.
Don’t call me a Ukrainian journalist, please,” Tkachev sums up.
