According to her, former police officer Serhii Lukashov posted a message accompanied by a photo purportedly showing Anatoliy Shchadylo — a third-rank police general and head of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Kyiv region.

In his post, he noted that the man "fell asleep while drunk at an entertainment venue."

Olena Burtsova, a member of the Vyshneve City Council, also stated that the photo was generated using AI.

"I don't know why Serhii Lukashov is making such a big deal out of this. First of all, I wasn't there that evening, but I know he would never be in uniform at a restaurant. Second, that's not him in the photo—they photoshopped his neck onto it," she said.

The post on Lukashov's page has now been deleted.
