Summary
On June 1 and 2, Facebook users circulated a manipulated photograph of the Vinnytsia Technical Vocational College in Ukraine, falsely claiming students formed a swastika. The image had been mirrored to create this false impression, whereas the authentic version shows students depicting the Svarga, a traditional Slavic solar symbol, during a Vyshyvanka Day celebration on May 21, 2026. The manipulation involved reversing the image, which also caused objects like a bench inscription and a manhole cover to appear on the wrong side compared to the original photos published by the college.
