The information was picked up in Abcnews and away we go.

President Zelensky, literally 15 minutes after the photo and video appeared, made a sharp statement.
That’s how #fakenews is born. We warned in our statement back on March 7 (https://t.co/OpSeejBais) that this hospital has been turned into a military object by radicals. Very disturbing that UN spreads this information without verification #Mariupol #Mariupolhospital https://t.co/99v8avyThS pic.twitter.com/JsHgsv5YfQ

March 9, 2022” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>”the hospital was turned into a military facility by the radicals.” Polyansky also cited the words of Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN Vasyl Nebenzya. staff of the maternity hospital No. 1 in the city of Mariupol and set up a firing platform on the territory of the institution. In addition, they completely destroyed one of the city’s kindergartens.”
The Russian embassy in Britain also tried to refute the photo of the pregnant woman, noting in another message that it was Ukrainian beauty blogger Marianna Podgurskaya, who was indeed pregnant, but posed for the photo and was not taken by rescuers or witnesses.
“In fact, they were taken by a well-known propagandist photographer Yevgeny Maloletka, and not by rescuers and witnesses, as one might expect,” the Russian embassy said.
The accusations of the Russian Embassy in Britain were also denied by journalist Matthew Kupfer, citing fake news from Russia and, among other things, emphasizing that Marianna Podgurskaya is really from Mariupol and is really pregnant, and Evgeny Maloletka is covering the war in Mariupol.
“She is no more a “beauty blogger” than millions of other young women around the world. Russia wants to hint that she is an actress. “She’s actually another victim of the bombing.”
Shameful lies! 1) Podgurskaya’s Instagram shows A) she’s from Mariupol & B) her husbanded posted a photo in January where she is visibly pregnant.
2) Evgeniy Maloletka is a well-known photojournalist from #Ukraine who was covering the war in Mariupol. https://t.co/CiQAKysZ5f pic.twitter.com/niAm1wTOPl
