Het Oekraïense leger publiceerde foto's van hun nieuwjaarsdinermenu.

Publisher’s rating: De foto werd verspreid door een privéccount dat geen officiële spreekbuis is van het Oekraïense leger. De foto is niet terug te vinden bij officiële Instagramkanalen van het Oekraïense leger.

The review found that the photo was shared by a private account, not an official spokesperson for the Ukrainian army, and that it could not be found on the army’s official Instagram accounts. It also notes that the image shows shuba, a salad traditionally eaten around New Year in Russia and Ukraine.

Publisher’s rating: صحيح جزئيا

The review says the drone strike occurred, but disputes that it hit an active public market in al-Qubaytah or killed civilians. It reports that the site was a former market, then used as a military camp in Hayfan, Taiz, and that the casualties were military personnel.
