It is falsely claimed that the footage depicts military service in Kiev, forcibly recruiting a Ukrainian citizen.

FATBARDH DEMA

The Albanian-language Facebook page "The Reis" has published a video claiming that the footage depicts military service in Kiev (Ukraine) forcibly recruiting a citizen.

After research conducted by hibrid.info, the same video material was found published in online media in Ukraine, where it is stated that the causes of this event are unknown and that the patrol police in the city of Chernitvsi have launched an official investigation.

Also, the Ukrainian online medium "molbuk.ua" states that the video was shot in the city Chernivtsi, and not in Kiev, as claimed by the Facebook page "The Reis".

Description of the video material published on Facebook by the page "The Reis":

Ukrainians are forcibly recruited into military service in Kiev.

Zelensky continues to throw his people in the face of horrific Russian bombing for the sake of US and British interests.


Hibrid.info has found an article published in the Ukrainian media "promin.cv.ua", which states that in Chernivtsi, unknown persons kidnapped a man in broad daylight and threw him into a minibus. (here)

However, the Ukrainian media outlet “molbuk.ua”, referring to the response of the patrol police in the city of Chernivtsi, says “The patrol police of Chernivtsi has launched an official investigation into the actions of law enforcement officers, in whose presence the servicemen took the man to the car.” (here)

Excerpt from the article published in the Ukrainian medium "molbuk.ua", translated into Albanian:

In response to a journalist's question about whether an official review of the actions of the patrol officers, in whose presence the military force forcibly put a person in a minibus, is planned, the police gave this answer: "The management of the patrol police has made a decision to schedule an official investigation."

Earlier, a video was shared in local media in which people in military uniforms apparently drag a man into a minibus. Two workers in police uniforms stand nearby. The public commented on the video as “kidnapping”. The Chernivtsi patrol police denied the information, calling it unreliable.


Analyze:

After verifying the facts, hibrid.info has determined that there is no evidence to support the claim of the website "The Reis" that the footage depicts the Ukrainian military forcibly recruiting a citizen.

Also, the claim that the incident took place in Kiev is not true. This is because, based on online media in Ukraine, it is clarified that the video was shot in the city of Chernitvsi.

Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this claim by the website "The Reis" as "Unverified Content" and "Disinformation".


Reasoning:

The "Unverified" rating is given to those informative contents that do not provide sufficient information to confirm the claims made in the report, and which could not be verified due to certain circumstances (speed, lack of sources) during the publication of the content.

"Disinformation" is defined as information content that contains a "mix" of inaccurate sources or even half-truthful attributes, and that is created and/or distributed with the deliberate intention of causing harm. The motive behind the producers/distributors of disinformation content lies in achieving a political, financial, psychological or social goal.
