Verdict: False
The initial photo was made in Russia, and it was not taken there.
Point Test:
According to BBC News, pro-Ukraine soldiers have attacked Soviet frontier places, and countless children are being evacuated from Belgorod.
Social media users are sharing an image of buildings on fire with a billboard in the foreground, claiming it shows Russia. One user wrote, “good day to the russian. the billboard says ‘stability.’”
Nevertheless, the image was never taken in Russia. Through a reverse image research, Test Your Truth discovered that a renowned Ukrainian designer, Kherson Designer, was the creator of the image. In connection with the most recent events in the marshes, the image was posted to Telegram in January 2024.
In a Telegram article on March 18, Kherson Designer addressed the state that it was true.  ,
Who would have imagined that this image would become widely circulated worldwide? Journalists from other countries frequently write and inquire,” Is this a genuine photo or a processed image?” However, the picture became common without specifying the writer, and people really think that it is a photo”, Kherson Designer wrote.
Shayan Sardarizadeh, a writer for BBC Verify, also refuted the assertion in a March 17 blog. ( RELATED: Video Claims To Show Vehicles On Fire Near Belgorod )
