russian fake about a «Coca-Cola truck carrying UAV components»
A fake photo of a branded Coca-Cola vehicle damaged in a shelling is being circulated online, allegedly showing drone-launch components in its cargo area.
The image is being published by russian and pro-russian social media accounts. Propagandists claim that civilian transport in Ukraine is allegedly being used for military purposes.
In reality, the image is fake and was generated using artificial intelligence. This was confirmed by image analysis using specialised AI-content detection tools.
The goal of this russian disinformation campaign is to justify terrorist attacks on civilian facilities, including the strike on the Coca-Cola plant, and create a false impression that Ukraine uses civilian logistics for military purposes.
