Fraudsters set up fake account in name of Commander-in-Chief Drapatyi

On social media platform X, unknown individuals have created a fake page for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Mykhailo Drapatyi. Since 22 July, the perpetrators have been using this account to disseminate information purportedly from the Commander-in-Chief.
This has been reported by Censor.NET, citing the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the spokesperson for the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Dmytro Lykhovii.

"The perpetrators spared no expense in buying a blue tick for the page of Commander-in-Chief Mykhailo Drapatyi in X. However, both the page and the latest news on it are fake. Trust only verified official sources. Officials come and go – the institution remains," emphasised Lykhoviy.
The spokesperson stated that the official pages of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the main social media platforms remain:
