On September 3rd of last year, a Russian strike leveled an educational building in Poltava, Ukraine, with two ballistic missiles. According to the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, the strike left 55 people dead and 328 injured. Immediately following said attack, Russian propaganda networks engaged in a somewhat large-scale operation aimed at exaggerating the NATO and Ukrainian loss from the Russian missile strike. The claim of multiple dead NATO officers is, however, fake. There is no clear evidence or official statements from Ukrainian authorities about "190 killed" or "NATO flight instructors" in the Russian strike on Poltava. I decided to analyze the "primary source" of this information of various NATO officials being killed in the strike. This claim stemmed from some stories on Instagram that were allegedly shared by an account with part of his nickname sketched out. However, its first part can be" seen—"hrytsenko." Other people online claim that the "news" about the large number of dead Ukrainians was once again relayed by a "volunteer named Hrytsenko." However, in all of my searching I could not find a user with credible postings or verifiable claims that shared the same "Hrytsenko."

The claim is entirely false, Russian state run propaganda has tried to run a campaign claiming their missile attack was a strategic attack on F-16 Nato instructor Jeppe Hansen. However the Danish Ministry of Defense quickly denied the rumor. A confirmed fact checking website was asked to confirm the attack, however it stated "We can't because you cannot fact check an event that never happened." As well as the fact that there is nothing on google about the attack, there is no extensive report from a reputable news source suggesting the topic is factual, and this is yet another example of Russian smear campaigns of its political and military enemies. Another good point to add is the image of Jeppe Hansen is completely computer generated in the featured post. The Kyiv post suggesting it is AI generated.
