Bellingcat

We're aware of another fake video circulating made to look like a BBC report containing falsified Bellingcat research. It claims that Zelensky's former adviser Oleksiy Arestovych has spent over $500k on private flights. Bellingcat hasn't released any investigation on this topic.

Another fake BBC report has been brought to our attention circulating online, claiming that a Ukranian politician was involved with weapon sales to Hamas. Again Bellingcat has not reported on this subject and the claims and quotes included in the 'report' are falsified. twitter.com/dannmuts/status/17

@Bellingcat@mstdn.social It is a measure of Bellingcat's effectiveness that the Kremlin is trying to falsify 'Bellingcat' reports.

@Bellingcat

You may be over-estimating the relative power of straight text vs image+text

The following may better serve your intent.

@Bellingcat hmm not sure whether this is some actor taking advantage of Bellingcat's credibility to push disinformation or just a targeted campaign to discredit Bellingcat itself.

@Bellingcat i had forgotten for a moment that right after the hamas attack Putins propaganda channels tried to float the story Hamas had been armed with US weapons supplied to Ukraine.

@Bellingcat bellingcat would never investigate an imperialist US ally, how else would they continue to get funding?

@redlilrascal I feel like you've missed the point ever so slightly.

@Bellingcat

Classic deflection tactic - who made the fake posts? "Batshit-crazy" James "Shithole" Cleverly?

@Bellingcat Small but important correction. Not Zelensky's advisor, but "advisor to the Office of the President", which is not a position described in Constitution of Ukraine, unlike Advisor to the President of Ukraine which is. "Advisor to the Office of the President" is an unofficial quazi-position that actually means nothing, I guess the best way to read it is more like "friend to Andrii Yermak, the head of the Office" or something.
