Fake instructions for photographers on how to shoot the President
The alleged “photographers’ guide on how to shoot Volodymyr Zelenskyy” is a fake.
hostile Telegram channels and state media of the aggressor country are spreading a photo supposedly showing “rules for favorable angles” when photographing the President of Ukraine in Istanbul.
No such instructions exist. In promoting these so-called “rules,” propagandists refer to social media user Ben Swann on platform X — the same individual who previously spread disinformation about alleged drug use by the leaders of France, the UK, and Germany (link).
The goal of this fake is to divert public attention from the fact that putin ignored the Istanbul visit, effectively demonstrating russia’s unwillingness to end the war.
