\u25ab\ufe0f Fake news, designed to resemble a Euronews article, is widely circulating on social media, claiming that Ukrainian children are allegedly being harassed in European schools. The authors of the fake claim that there have been \u201cover 100 such cases in three months\u201d and assert that Ukrainian families are afraid to contact the police due to the \u201crisk of deportation.\u201d<\/p>\n
In reality, no such information appears on Euronews\u2019 official platforms and it is not confirmed by any reputable sources. The fake follows a typical pattern: an emotionally sensitive topic, fabricated statistics, a lack of sources, and an appeal to a well-known outlet are used to create the impression that support for Ukraine and Ukrainians abroad is declining.<\/p>\n
The goal of this fake is to discredit Ukrainian refugees, create panic among families, undermine trust in European institutions, and shape an image of Europe as an \u201cunsafe space\u201d for Ukrainians, where they allegedly \u201chave no rights.\u201d<\/p>\n
