Russia has been invading Ukraine for 12 days. In addition to the military confrontation, the two armies also exchanged fire in the information war. The Russian army kept claiming that Ukrainian President Zelensky would surrender, and released that people in many places in Ukraine welcomed Russian flags. The Russian army’s false information was slapped by the Ukrainian officials. On the other hand, Ukraine used information such as “Ghost of Kyiv” and “Snake Island Warriors to Die Bravely” to motivate the people. Quite a big gap. Ukraine recently released news that military advisers claimed that a Kyiv woman shot down a Russian military drone with a jar of pickled cucumbers.
Liubov Tsybulska, an adviser to the Ukrainian government and military, shared a message on Twitter on the 6th. She pointed out that a woman living in Kyiv held a jar of pickled cucumbers on her balcony and put a Russian drone on it. Shot down, she shouted to Ukrainian nationals, “How are they going to occupy this country?”
Later, Cibulska shared an illustration made by netizens. In the picture, a Kyiv woman holds a gun with a can of pickled cucumbers in the gun. Ciburska said that the Russian troops entered Kherson, but the more they thought about it, the more wrong they were, because brave Ukrainians got into their tanks and waved the Ukrainian flag.
Cibulska’s post currently has about 270,000 likes and 45,000 retweets and shares, which has sparked heated discussions among netizens. However, the relevant claims have not been confirmed.
