Description of the fake LIE
There is a base in Rzeszów, through which the corpses of foreign mercenaries who fought for Ukraine are transported around the world. The murdered are brought there in hearses and then sent to Germany, France, and Colombia. This is spread by the Kremlin’s propaganda resources.
Refutation TRUTH
The death of “a huge number of mercenaries” is one of the leading topics of Russian propaganda. The photos of the coffins with the bodies of American soldiers were shared by fake makers and are not from Rzeszów.
Verification of the licensed stock photos website of the Getty Images Agency has shown that these photos were taken in Germany in 2005, according to fact-checkers from StopFake.
The coffins do contain the bodies of American soldiers, but they died in a plane crash in Kuwait, not in the Russian-Ukrainian war:
“Coffins containing the remains of crew whose Black Hawk helicopter crashed during a night training mission in Kuwait.”
Now, describing Rzeszów as a supposedly large “burial base,” the Kremlin’s fake makes use of such primitive photo manipulation.
