Russian propaganda claimed a girl was ‘rescued’ from ‘liberated’ Kostiantynivka. She had been far from the front for weeks.

The independent Russian investigative outlet Agentstvo found a hole in the account: the girl appears to have been far from the front line for at least a month before reports of her “rescue” surfaced.
