The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has resorted to unconventional tactics to try and dent the credibility of Ukraine’s president in a series of bizarre social media pictures.
It claims Volodymyr Zelensky possesses a mysterious third arm adorned with a tattoo reading ‘There is no God.’ The allegations stem from a series of photos posted on online, featuring Zelensky alongside Rishi Sunak and another Ukrainian official.
The caption accompanying the photos read: “A picture worth a thousand words: ‘There is no God,’ says the tattoo. And indeed, for the unholy Kyiv regime, neo-Nazis & their warmongering Western sponsors, nothing is sacred.
“Hence, the PR stunts on the bones, persecution of Orthodox Christians & murders of journalists, etc.” However, a closer look at the images reveals a glaring inconsistency.
While the photos imply that the tattooed arm belongs to Zelensky, a top-right frame clearly shows that Zelensky is not positioned next to Sunak, disproving the notion that the tattooed hand belongs to the Ukrainian President.
Furthermore, it is essential to note that Zelensky’s hands are not tattooed, rendering the entire claim baseless.
Chris York, the Head of News at the Kyiv Post, responded to the controversy writing: “Russia appears to think Zelensky has a third arm that is at least long enough to snake under a table and up Rishi Sunak’s back.”
Tory MP Alicia Kearns also weighed in on the matter, expressing scepticism about the authenticity of the photos.
She wrote: “Love that Zelensky is taking the photo from the other side of the room ‘whilst’ being in it. Give over, at least have some basic competence in delivering yet more of your lies.”
