Description of the fake LIE

The German satirical magazine Titanic placed Zelenskyy on the cover of its October issue, where he is shown taking a pumpkin basket full of sweets from children on Halloween. The cartoon is accompanied by the caption “Ukraine needs more.” Propagandist Telegram channels are spreading this.

Refutation TRUTH

The official website of the magazine has no such cover, and the October issue was actually released at the end of September with a completely different cover.

According to fact-checkers from Ukrinform, the cover of the November issue, which came out just before Halloween, actually features Jürgen Klopp, former manager of Liverpool FC and now global head of football operations at Red Bull.

“The issue is titled “He Just Can’t Say No! Jürgen Klopp Becomes the Head of Hezbollah,” added the investigators.

The purpose of this fake news is to discredit the Ukrainian government and reinforce the narrative for a Western audience that the West is supposedly “tired of Ukraine.”
