Last week, the TV news agency of the "Belarus-1" TV channel declared itself a source of truth and pitied American viewers for not having access to ATN as they do not know that Volodymyr Zelensky actually did not visit a military hospital.

"All free countries (Russia and Belarus), where there is pluralism of opinion and diversity of sources of information, troll Zelensky, who pretended to visit a military hospital today. It turns out that the video shows a woman who died on February 26, which means that the video was taken out of the "coffers" to make it seem that Zelensky was in Kiev. But the American viewer is not allowed to know that. Foxnews will never tell about it!", - wrote on the ATN Telegram channel.

It is important to explain that Volodymyr Zelensky posted on his official YouTube channel a video of him visiting wounded AFU soldiers in the hospital. Ukrainian MP Illia Kyva stated that the military medic next to Zelensky in the video is Inna Derusova. So it proves the theory that the video was shot beforehand as the woman died on February 26, 2022. So, concludes Kyva, Zelensky is not in Kiev.

The Russian and Belarusian media rushed to publish it as a sensation. But it turned out that it wasn't all that simple. Military medic Inna Derusova died at the rank of sergeant, while in the video, judging by her epaulettes, is a woman general. There are not many of them in Ukraine not to find out that next to Zelensky is Medical Service General Tetiana Ostaschenko. She commands the AFU Medical Forces. She looks like Derusova so the video proved to be true.
