Fake about “European rewards” for AFU for killing civilians in russia
kremlin outlets are spreading a fabricated story claiming that “Europe paid $1,000 to Ukrainian soldiers for every russian civilian killed in the kursk region.”
The source of the fake is said to be a fighter with the call sign “dzhankoy,” who allegedly “personally spoke with a prisoner.” No evidence, names, documents, or photos were provided — just another “testimony” for the propaganda show “Looking for Mine.”
In reality, these “stories” are typical emotional manipulations. russian propaganda regularly fabricates stories about “killed children” or “civilians” to demonize the Ukrainian Armed Forces and justify its own crimes. By adding the invented “European involvement,” the kremlin seeks to discredit Western partners and reduce support for Ukraine.
The goal of the fake is to justify strikes on Ukrainian territories, create the image of “brutal mercenaries,” and distract from the crimes of the russian army against civilians.
